Thanksgiving...

We were with my family this year, and a couple weeks ago my Mom said we were going to do it up in Springdale at my dads restaurant "The Flying Monkey" with some of her extended family that we had not seen in a long time. It was absolutely beautiful up there the weather could not have been better. It was really fun and the kids had a blast being able to run around and play outside.
Grandma Kara and Maggie
 Molly J.
 Maggie K.
 My sweet girls
 My little family
 I sure love these two- I made their little outfits and they turned out perfect!
 We had pre-made everything right before heading to the restaurant, but to finish the cooking we cooked it in the brick over. It was delish!
My Girls and Grandma Grape
 The party planners cooking in the kitchen-
The group- minus my little group we were on another table and kinda scattered there was room for us on the big, but Molly picked a whole other seat for us!
 
In the first picture where my sweet Grandma is in the back of the picture on the chair- Maggie came up to her and told her it was "My seat" and kept motioning for her to move. We were all laughing and Maggie got "her seat" back! Maggie also took Grandma's pie over too! She is a girl that knows what she wants I guess!
 Pie Please!

 
My moms cousin Stephanie made this darling Turkey pinata for the little kids to break. I guess when my mom was a kid they use to always have a pinata so they found it fitting to bring the tradition back. Molly asked all day long when it was time to "cut that cute little turkey"...
The girls thought it was so awesome Maggie started stuffing suckers and other candy down her shirt so she could hold it all.. Molly on the other hand..
.
 Molly had no trouble finding a place to put all her candy she piled her dress full. There was a ton of candy packed into that turkey. That was definitely the best part of the day for the kids!
 The whole group- Minus a couple who had to split a bit early!
It was a great day and to finish it off Clint and I hit up "Black Friday" and pretty much finished our shopping!!!
