For Thanksgiving this year my friend Angie invited us over for dinner, which was nice. She knows we don't have a full size oven and took pity on us. We made stuffing, cranberry sauce and rolls and relaxed a bit in the morning before heading over there for good Thanksgiving food.
We also played Toddler Monopoly. This is a five minute game of rolling the dice, counting out spaces and getting property cards just for landing on a space. We learn things like colors, counting, taking turns and get to use words like "train," light bulb" and "doggie." When Matthew starts to lose interest we pull out the "houses" and put them all over the board. And then the game is over. Matthew's favorite part is putting the little hat and thimble game pieces on his fingers and then showing them to us. I think he's trying to eat one of the pieces in this picture. Close supervision is required, of course. Matthew and I play this sometimes during the week and Scott was amazed by the excitement level of the game. :)
Matthew and I made this Thanksgiving turkey craft a few days ago. See how thrilled he is with it. He doesn't want me to notice that he is really playing with a car in his other hand. :) That was a very drooly teething day...that's why he's wearing a bib. I hope everyone had (or is having) a great Thanksgiving!
