turkey, gingerbread and a whole gaggle of geese

For Thanksgiving we went up to my parents condo and stayed the weekend. It was nice to get away from home and the kids loved being spoiled by Aunt Shelley and Grandma!
The pictures are all out of order....
Doing gingerbread houses at Aunt Teri's. (All modesty aside--my kids are so cute!!)
Who knew Teri's chairs could be so fun?
Max, Easton, Keagan
The gingerbread man that Easton did all by himself!

My sister, Shelley, helped Easton and Keagan make cute turkey hats.

Then she helped Easton model--this is her rendition of a turkey--Easton thinks she is crazy! :)

Keagan tried to master the stairs at the condo--we don't have stairs at our house, so she doesn't quite know what she is doing, hence the head first move....

There were probably a hundred Canadian geese outside the condo everyday. Easton always wanted to go chase them and loved to watch them fly away.

I honestly was going to say exactly what Trisha said. Great minds think a like! It looks like you had fun! Shelley is such an awesome aunt! She reminds me so much of myself before I had kids. (I'm TOTALLY kidding!)

Sounds and looks like a lot of fun! I know I always say this, but Easton is DEFINITELY Parkers son!

It was a fun time for Thanksgiving and I will always have that "picture" in my mind of Easton chasing the geese and them all flying away in a huge flock! Amazing! I love the picture of Easton and Keagan under the barstools -- darling!! Mama Liz
