Once again this Thanksgiving, we had some special visitors, my parents. The kids are always excited to see their grandparents, and since it has been awhile since the last time we seen them, they were even more excited about their trip here.
Turkey day isn't complete without some outdoor play while the turkey is frying outside. Luckily it wasn't as chilly as it has been, but the kids really don't care about the temperature, they just want to play and run around.
Along with playing outside, the kids also did a craft with grandma. The each made their own turkey's and were so proud of themselves with how they turned out.
TIME TO EAT!!
The food turned out fantastic. Everyone's bellies were sure full, to the point where we had to wait until later in the night to serve up dessert.
Like we did last year, after our bellies were full and clean up was done, we went to the Charlotte Motor Speedway to look at the Christmas lights. I think it's just so cool that they do something like this. And all the lights move with music. You tune into a certain radio station and listen while the lights move. It's pretty amazing and will really miss seeing this huge light show next year!
And we couldn't miss an opportunity to meet the one and only Santa Clause. And just like last year, Logan wasn't impressed.
The one thing that the girls remember most from last year, was getting the chance to feed all the goats and sheep. They couldn't wait to get back in the cold to feed them. If it was up to them we would have been there all night, they loved it so much.
New add on this year, was a snow machine. Really, it just a big bubbly mess on the ground, but as you can see McKenna loved it!
The Speedway did a new thing this year, where you could stop at the look out and see the whole speedway all lit up. If it wouldn't have been so cold I would have sat there and watched the lights all night. It was cool to get a different look at the lights like that.
It was a fun Thanksgiving, that's for sure. And like every other Thanksgiving, we stuffed ourselves to the limit, but enjoyed every bite of it.
Hope ya'll had a great Thanksgiving, also!
