Turkey Day Fun...

This year Kaley's Birthday landed the day before Thanksgiving. She will always be my Turkey-Day baby since I was in labor with her all Thanksgiving day.

Kaley turned 9 this year.. WOW, I still can't believe how fast she is growing, and that I have a 9 year old. I must be getting older. Kaley chose a cupcake-cake this year, it turned out pretty good!

Thanksgiving Day always starts at 5:00AM around here. Traditions with Mindy are bitter-sweet. We arrive at Mindy's work by 6:00AM to bake rolls and pies for dinner.

This can be very crazy with massive people every where and several activities going on at the same time. This year, Mindy and I were in charge of breakfast, and if any of you know Mindy's boss, he does nothing small (or low-cal to say the least). That was a lot of pumpkin stuffed french toast, bacon, sausage, turkey sausage, scrambled eggs with all the fixings, homemade real hot chocolate(not the powder stuff) and more. Everyone is very busy making their own pies(9 kinds) and (3 kinds) rolls.

Then around 11:00 AM, it is time to go home and start the process of our own dinner. The kids love to be involved in every step. Kade insisted on doing the potato's.

The table was set and we were all starving.... Looks Good!!

Kade picked out the drumstick... That thing is bigger that he is!

The girls were proud that they helped cook their own Turkey-Day dinner!!!!
