Thanksgiving weekend

This year we had the pleasure of having guests for Thanksgiving weekend. Scott's parents came to visit and therefore got to come along to celebrate the holiday with my family in Farmington. After much back and forth my Grandma hosted and I was thankful after having minor surgery on the 21st. After the typical burning of the rolls and the marshmallows on top of the sweet potatoes, we all sat down to a delicious meal. And ate too much, of course!

After the clean up we played Bingo because Grandma Lorene has one of those really cool spinning balls with the crank handle for the caller. Claire was the caller and quarters were the prizes!

And if you got bored with Bingo, you could join Emma with Aunt Tracy's very cute dog, Maggie. Emma would love to have a little dog to tote around all the time. Maggie went along with this for most of the day while still having a good disposition.

Once we got home we still had 3 more days off school so we had to have something to do. We got out all the legos and went to town. We ended up getting them all out and spread them out on the dining room table. They are still there and they get played with everyday. Since we won't need the dining room until Christmas Eve I have decided this is a great use of the dining table.

Here is Sam with the Lego City he created. He wants me to mail this in to the Lego magazine so he can get published. We'll see. Blogging is one step, actually printing out photos and putting them in the mail is an entirely different step.

Sewing. Did I ever mention that Scott's mom loves to sew? She brought all her machinery, well actually not all of it. Just 2 machines required to make cute flannel pajamas for the kids. And the best part was that her machine has a slow setting which allowed the girls to be able to sew their own pillow cases. They had so much fun sewing with Grandma.

And here they are all outfitted in flannel! They got to choose their own fabrics during multiple trips to Jo-Anne's fabrics.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that the tooth fairy also paid us a visit during this Thanksgiving holiday. Emma lost her other front tooth. So, you know how the Christmas song goes!
