Happy Thanksgiving

We have invited some of our neighbors over to experience a "traditional" Thanksgiving with us this coming Sunday.  So, today Dan headed out to the turkey farm to pick out a turkey for us!  They killed the turkey there, thankfully, and even plucked some of the feathers.  But, they then sent Dan home with instructions to dunk the turkey in boiling water to be able to pull out the big, stubborn feathers.  He also had to do his own removing of the neck and such.  Nice.  Anyways, as he was working on the turkey Sierra was watching intently.  She then declared, "I out a here.  Me no eat that turkey, mama!"  Can't say I blame her.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and may your turkey come fully plucked.

From the mouths of babes . . .

Kaiyah keeps us chuckling these days.  Last night this was part of her bed time prayer . . . "And Dear God, please help me not to get tooooo thirsty tonight, because Mommy won't let me get a drink."
