Thanksgiving Feast for Grandpa and Grandma




Since we are going to be gone for Thanksgiving we thought it would be fun to have grandma and grandpa over for a mini Thanksgiving. This is the day my camera decided to break, but luckily I got a few pictures of the table before it broke completely. I decided to let the boys plan this fun night. They made invitations....complete with turkey hand drawings and a long written out paragraph by Andrew. Earlier in the week we made placemats. I had them help me with the food and Luke helped with all the grocery shopping. On Wednesday when we picked Andrew up from school we spent time making Oreo cookie turkeys for the table and for friends and the boys helped make the apple crisp. They loved using the apple peeler. While Allie was sleeping they set the table...and I think they did a great job. I got them out a few decorations and we looked up on the internet the proper way to set the table. Luke had wanted to use cloth napkins, so we found some at Wallmart and he rolled them in a special way...mommy helped with putting the ribbon on. We had a yummy dinner of salad, turkey cranberry sandwiches, and soup. After dinner the boys had set up cornhole in the backyard, so they played with grandpa and daddy. We ended the night with our yummy apple crisp! It was special to celebrate with grandpa and grandma and the kids just loved making a special evening for them!!!
