Ry and his awesome 'Mater cake' made by grandma
We made our first trip over to Texas for the Thanksgiving break. The kids travelled really well--considering one was technically still only two at the time.
Dan and Marie were super awesome and made Ry a superman cake (as requested by Ry)and hamburgers with cheese, watermelon and grapes (also as requested)

Dan raised and prepared the turkey this year. The kids got to watch the process. Makaya had the biggest reaction in exclaiming "Hooray!" and clapping when her daddy de-headed the bird.

Tractor Train ride--super cool.
Thanksgiving dinner--I was trying to get the kids to look at the camera and say gobble. Kaya was flapping her arms, and Ryan was gobbling at her. Trev and Gracie just focused on eating.
Mmm... drumstick...

Turkeys
The chickens were also pretty popular. Trevor and Grace set up 'chicken school' where they would take clipboards out and mark down stars for chickens who were being good. They said they were also teaching the chickens to play freeze tag... uncle Dan declared the chickens need some rest.
Trev was trying to be one with the chickens in hopes that they'd let him pick them up
Loved the tire swing
