Thanksgiving 2010

Lucy Rae's very first Thanksgiving and I didn't get a SINGLE picture of her! I'm so disappointed! Especially since we are SO VERY thankful for her. I guess we didn't get any pictures because we were too busy snuggling and loving her. :)

These guys made and amazing turkey! (and a big mess)

After lunch I got to ride Myles' minibike (after some begging.. he wasn't very confident in my abilities.. and still won't tell me how to get out of first gear.)

The boys had a great time playing with Cooper

We also made these cute little apple turkeys my friend Aimee posted about here. (and while you are over there, check out her gingerbread houses! So cute.)

Beans did her usual... rotating back and forth between Kali and Lyndsay all afternoon... they spoil her rotten and she loves it (and them).

Preschool/Kindergarten Thanksgiving

Brodey's class did a little play this year.. He was an Indian. It was awesome! He makes such a cute little Indian. After the performance we had a FEAST! We got to sit together as a family at a big round table with little things on it that Brodey had made. Jeff was able to make it... which was nice since Brock's Thanksgiving party was also that day at the very same time. We got quite the workout running back and forth with the girls!

After 2 years of going to Brodey's preschool parties Brocky was sooo excited to have a party with his little friends. It was fun to meet the other parents... one mom told me her little girl says every morning when she's dropping her off "I get to see Brock today!". Ha! Little ladies man.

After Brock's feast they sang a song, did a science experiment and a craft.

Things to be thankful for...

We Culp's have LOTS to be thankful for this year.... these three beauties top the list:

Preschool Thanksgiving

Time for the preschool parties!! Brock's favorite!! I'm so glad Brodey gets so excited to see BOTH his brother and sister with me when we come to his school. I considered not bringing them... but they have so much fun and it makes Brodey happy... so it works out for everyone!

I might be a little bit obsessed with making coordinating holiday outfits for my children.

Lyla's first Thanksgiving

Unfortunately this is the only picture I took on Thanksgiving! Oops. We had such a full day I forgot all about my camera. We spent the day playing games and enjoying the great weather. Gramma made a feast and we literally ate all day long. Lyla was, as usual, a perfect baby smiling and sleeping and smiling and sleeping. The boys had a blast at the park with daddy, Uncle Myles, Grampa, and Aunt Lee in the morning and playing trucks and going on "nature walks" with Cooper in the afternoon.

We have so much to be thankful for this year!

Thanksgiving is also when we draw names for Christmas... I asked the boys what they want this year, here is Brock's list:

The moon

A Christmas tree

Go to the pediatrician

We got the Christmas tree, can pretty much guarantee we'll be going to the pediatrician about this nasty cold he can't shake.. but I don't know how we are going to get him the moon!

Preschool Thanksgiving

Brock, Lyla and I got to go to Brodey's school again for their Thanksgiving party. So cute. First they had a "feast" and then they sang some songs for us parents and then we all did a craft together. Brock was so excited... he kept pointing to Brodey saying "This ones ours. This is our Brodey!" They even pulled up a little chair for him to sit with Brodey at the table.

Brock also invited himself to join the singing. That's him in the middle. Not shy, that one.Brodey did so well! He has been saying his memory verse all weekend... Give Thanks to the Lord.
