We were thankful to have family & friends spend Thanksgiving with us. The kids worked hard (with John's help and his pom-pom maker) to create a unique table setting. I'm not sure who had more fun... the kids or John... HA! That pom-pom maker has come in handy for the holidays.
These turkeys were so fun for us to make and required help from everyone. My favorite part about them is that the kids hands were used to make the tail feathers; a personal touch reflective of their current age.
Izzy got creative with the Tinker Toys to make another turkey.
The meal was wonderful and surprisingly easy as there were three ladies who shared this task; myself, Oma and John's mother.
While the food was cooking, due to some nicer weather the men took the munchkins outside for a bit. John's brother gave us their old bike which was the perfect size for the twins. Victoria took to the bike surprisingly easy and was making turns in the court yards quickly. Micah rode it approximately 1.5 feet; enough to let me take a picture. He preferred his scooter.

We took Opa out for breakfast at one of our favorite places, Paris. This place makes wonderful savory or sweet crepes.
It is always fun to watch young ones grow up. One of the highlights for this holiday was playing games with Opa. They enjoyed Candyland, Feed the Kitty and Pop 'N Drop Penguins. Micah especially enjoyed this time with Opa. He cried when I picked him up from school after I told him Opa wasn't here anymore to play the games after he inquired.
While Micah was enmeshed with Opa playing games, Victoria was true to herself... dressing up. How fitting that she wanted to put together a Fancy Nancy puzzle with Oma!
