Thanksgiving prep started with making Turkey cookies. I make these cookies every year and usually let the kids make a few of their own
First you split oreo cookies in half, clearing off the cream on one side and leaving the cream on the other. Then you put icing on the candy corn
and press 5 of them down onto the clear side of the oreo cookie...doesn't Jayson look like he is working hard :)
then you have pretty turkey feathers
the end result is a herd of turkeys...I have to do the rest cause it gets tricky and sticky, you make the rice krispies as normal and then with damp hands shape them into a ball, then lay on the turkey feather side, then up on the cream side making them stick together, then finish off with chocolate chips! This was an idea I stole from a former Williams Sonoma co-worker :)
This year we had Thanksgiving at moms house here in Vegas...everything was soo good, loveThanksgiving food! Mom did the turkey and a bunch of side dishes, Tip and Nin did ham, mash potatoes, and homemade stuffing, I did the candied yams which I just became a fan of this year :)
Jay did the turkey carving
and Tip did the ham slicing
Not only did Jaylin do the prayer for our food, but she sang for us...practicing her Christmas songs for her musical at school

after eating until we couldn't breathe anymore, we lounged around on the couch and watched Tip and Rick's Wedding video...it was so good, had bonus features, deleted scenes and everything, newlyweds now for almost 6 months!
Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving like we did, lots to be thankful for this year!
We ended the night at Adventure Dome with Auntie Tish and Uncle Rommel, they made a last minute road trip from San Diego to take the kids to play...but I think they were the ones that really wanted to play games:)
I think the fishing game was the girls favorite
Thanksgiving week ended great, the girls got a big surprise and went to the Jonas Brothers concert at the MGM with Auntie Dee and Auntie Michelle. Thanks for hooking it up Michelle...she got the girls free tickets to the concert!
Jaylin rockin out, singing and dancing...this one screamed when she found out they were going
my favorite, Joe Jonas :)
Thanks again Auntie Michelle and Auntie Dee...the girls had lots of fun!!!
