This year for Thanksgiving we headed east to Oklahoma.  We spent Turkey Day at my Great Aunt’s in Northwestern Oklahoma.  Her son and daughter-in-law put on a great feast.  It was great to see my great aunt and cousins.  After dinner, we had some time to play in the pasture.  The boys loved it exploring the windmill and all of the old tractors.  I remember this pasture as a kid, but there were cows roaming around so we didn’t venture too far.  Post holiday activities included seeing the new Muppets movie.  Two thumbs up!  It was fun to be able to share with the boys one of my favorite things, the Muppets.  I remember watching the Muppet Show every week.  We also attempted to make a gingerbread house.  My mom and the boys made the gingerbread.  Billy wanted me to help, but I was busy taking pictures and he Billy said well you don’t bake anyway. That is semi true.  I probably would have just gone with the kit, but making the gingerbread was way more fun.  As the gingerbread was done, the house started to take shape.  It wasn’t a force of nature or the big bad wolf that blew the house in just soft gingerbread.  We all had a good laugh and it will definitely go into the memory bank.   We are thankful for our family and friends and so thankful for our sweet missionary, Jessica, serving in Brazil.
