This Thanksgiving was extra special because my mom had all her grandkids together. That has never happened since Ali has been born. My brother Michael, his wife Diana, and their two boys came into town from San Francisco for the holiday. My brother Darrin now lives here in Az so he was there with his wife, Christine and their 3 kids. We went and had a picture taken with all the grandkids so my mom will finally have 1 picture with all her grandkids in it. Anybody who knows my mom knows that she is so creative every holiday with activites for the kids. Well, this year was so fun to be a kid! My mom planned a scavenger hunt, a turkey singing recital, and how each child would prepare thanksgiving feast! On Wednesday my mom asked each child seperately what they would put in the turkey, how long and at what temperature they would cook it. This was HILARIOUS! She asked Hailey these questions and Hailey said she would fill her turkey with chicken feathers, wings, a picture of a chicken, and flowers on top. She would cook it on top of the stove at 29 degrees for 40 days until she got back. Ali said she would fill her turkey with milk ,sauce, juice and candy and she would cook it at 5 degrees on the BBQ with milk! Very entertaining forsure. I love the holidays with my mom, she always finds ways to keep the kids having fun. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to carry on the torch quite like mom but I would love to keep this tradition going..so precious!
