This unfortunately was the only turkey we enjoyed for our Thanksgiving Dinner this year.My mom asked my brother Randy to put the fresh Turkey and Ham in the downstairs fridge. He made a critical error that wasn't realized until Thanksgiving morning and put them both in the freezer ;) We ended up enjoying the ham two hours later than planned, and the turkey we used for late night sandwiches while us girls did crafts that evening...
I had so much fun making place settings for this years dinner. The kids included coloring books, crayons, and activities to keep them entertained. Next year we'll inlcude those for the adults as well! Its the first Thanksgivng we've had with just "our" family on my side. Usually, its with my Grandma and all of my cousins from my dad's side. We've loved the traditions we created with everyone, but with all of our families growing it just isn't feasible to get everyone together in one place, so we had to make a tough decision and seperate. Now we're creating some new traditions... place settings included!
The "boys" enjoying their dinner
Time for pictures! The girls love every possibility to pose with their littlest brothers ;)
Thanksgiving this year fell on Grandma's birthday. So of course we needed a picture of the boys with her... easier said than done. Paxton wanted to make sure Keaton's red hair was authentic :) Keaton didn't find this at all entertaining...frankly, either did Tyson. Getting Grandma to look at the camera proved to be the most difficult ;)

I love those new traditions that you all are forming! How special! I can't wait to experience a Sorenson Thanksgiving with the whole family someday!
"getting Grandma to look at the camera proved to be the most difficult" I think I choked on my food when I read that, I was laughing so hard!
Rach! Welcome back I have missed reading your blog. Holy cow, how in the world did you find time for all of those Christmas crafts with a little baby? They were awesome. Can't wait to see more :)
