Preparing for Turkey Day!!!

We bought our Thanksgiving turkey on Friday! Chip makes a great turkey...he "brines" it in his cooking bucket before putting it in the oven. We are having a houseful this year...my parents and brother (Gigi, Pop, Uncle Robby), Chip's parents (Meme and Pop Pop; Papa Lee and Nana), Chip's sister and husband (Aunt Missy and Uncle Jim) and his grandmother (Nanny).

Will and I are making place cards for everyone with foam turkeys. We started some yesterday by sticking the comb, waddle, beak, eye and feet on them. Will did not enjoy that part very long but loved using the glitter glue on the body and on top of the colored dots (feathers). We used the whole tube up so luckily Hobby Lobby had all the glitter glue 50% off...Mommy loved that! So I bought two bottles because with all this cold weather, we will be making a lot of crafts!

Our "Muffin"

My family's cat passed away during the night. We got Muffin in April 1989 when I was 11 years old. She would have been 20 years old this upcoming April. She was our third cat (one had run away and the other passed away of feline leukemia). Muffin was the baby of our family. We have more pictures of her at some Christmas' then my brother and I . We will miss her dearly but she will no longer be in pain. I don't know if my parents will get another cat but she will always have a special place in all our hearts.
