Happy Thanksgiving!

I know I'm a little behind on getting the Thanksgiving pictures out, but better late then never - right?!! We actually DID "celebrate" Thanksgiving this year - kind of! ;) It was just another work day Thursday here in Australia, but we really wanted to have a "turkey dinner" anyway, so Josh came home a little early to help me finish preparing dinner. He had made the the stuffing for the turkey the night before and taught me how to prep and bake the turkey. Our turkey was very small for two reasons: 1. Being that Josh and I were basically the only ones eating it (4 if you count the kids) we didn't want too many leftovers. 2. Our tiny little 7 lb. turkey cost almost $40 and really, you wouldn't have found one much bigger anyway! Yikes!! We tried to hang on to some traditions, but it was tricky! We made our usual "oreo turkeys", but had to make some changes. Since there aren't any candy corns, we had to use smarties for the feathers. Oh-well, the kids thought they tasted great!Here are there finished products - they did pretty well!
Oh, you're probably wondering why Lance's face is painted like a tiger! Well, that day was our last day of Hillsong Sisterhood for the year, so the kids had a party. The girls had to dress as princesses and the boys as princes/knights. Apparently there was face painting, so he was a tiger knight! I have pictures on my phone, I will post later......basically, he wanted to keep it on until daddy got home to show him! Ha! There was lots of growling at our Thanksgiving!
