Thanksgiving 2010

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Brian's sister and her husband came over, and so did Jen and Jayden's best friend Ethan! We had yummy deep fried turkey, potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, salad, fruit salad, chips & dip, and pies and ice cream!

But the best part was after dinner! Jen brought a gingerbread train for the boys to make, and they absolutely LOVED it! They were eating away at the gingerbread while Jen and I figured out the directions and got the frosting ready. Although, the train wouldn't hold up too well because we were missing pieces, and the pieces that we did have were missing big chunks! Oh well, that's not what's important...






Eating a gumball with his green fingers...
It was so funny, Ethan would eat the candy, and would switch from decorating the train to eating candy. I could get Jayden to put the candy on the train, but then he'd take it off, suck on the candy a little bit, and then put it back and clap his hands. Too cute!


Here is a video of Jayden sharing his gingerbread with Ethan. If Ethan wasn't looking, Jayden would pull on his ear to get him to look his way so he could get the gingerbread in his mouth, and they'd both just giggle and giggle. They are quite the pair!

We hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving too!

Halloween Festivities

We did our best to fill our week with a variety of Halloween Festivities, although we don't really know many places or things to do here.

We went with Jen & Ethan to Bonnie Springs, and here we are riding the train!

Jayden & Ethan looking at the ducks and swans. Look at how Ethan towers over Jayden, even though he is only 3 months older. Poor Turner children are doomed to be short...

Here they are watching the dancing pirate skeleton. They were mesmerized by this, it was so funny.

They also loved this maze. It was just perfect for them!



A different day we went over to their house for dinner...here Jayden is sneaking a bite of Ethan's pizza...

...a little playtime...

...carving pumpkins...

...and giving the pumpkins kisses!



Now on to Trunk or Treating!!!

His favorite part of the evening was picking these ducks out of the water and putting them in his plastic pumpkin. For some reason there wasn't anyone manning this station, so we were there for quite a while. He kept filling up his bucket with ducks, then we'd put them back in the water, and he'd continue. It was so adorable.

You probably noticed that his costume is all wet down the front...that is because he was reaching so far into the tub to get the ducks that he fell in! Twice! It didn't bother him at all! Brian just picked him up, and he looked around for a minute and then kept going!


We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! We sure did!
