Happy Thanksgiving!!

Of course we had to start out with the Mathie family tradition of being chased around the house with the turkey neck...


...except this year we were prepared! The kids and I brainstormed the night before on how to handle the turkey neck. We decided to ambush dad with guns.
Here's London practicing...

Didn't work...we still ended in tears. Next year Max and I are going to try water balloons...

I am sure grateful for the kids and how helpful they were this year...Especially when it consisted of smashing crackers and spreading cool whip!




And of course Morgan was the champion of the day! He put all the work into this meal, including all the grocery shopping, cooking the turkey, making stuffing from scratch, making the kids' favorite Jello, broccoli casserole, and the gravy. Thanks, babe, for taking such good care of us!! We sure are grateful for you!

Getting a well deserved Thanksgiving nap:)

That picture of London with the gun looks way too natural!

Oh man I remember the terror of the turkey neck...I clung to my bedsheets with the tightest grip I could.
Gobble Gobble!
