The girls loved watching James play video games. He also brought games for them to try. He even converted them to Phineas and Ferb. We have loved watching that show since they left, everyone in our family enjoys it! yay! Skye was so scared of James and his beard. But by the end of the trip she warmed up to him!
THANKSGIVING: The girls were playing a word game, saying things like "give me a B" [B], "give me a "T" [T]! Scarlett then started spelling words: "Give me an E...N....N...🦃!" haha! I wonder what alphabet contains the letter "turkey"!
We were playing telephone-telephone around the table. Siena came downstairs to join us. She asked to start the round. We went around the table and Hailey was the last one. The phrase was "Baby Juniper is awake!" haha! We went around the table for Hailey to find out her baby was awake.
For Thanksgiving we put together a good little spread. I asked all the adults what their favorite part of the meal was, then I put them in charge of that dish. I made my mom's layered jello (in name colors, of course!) Jaked smoked the turkey - it was the best turkey I've ever had! I turned the girls' hair buns into little turkeys. They picked feathers and clips for the eyes.
The older girls performed an original Thanksgiving anthem. Don't miss the actions toward the end:
After Thanksgiving Jake took a turkey noodle casserole to work. He said he was in line waiting for the microwave at work and there was a guy with turkey chili and another with turkey soup. haha!
Here were some phrases I heard, that are hilarious out of context:
- James: "What do you want me to lick, that's adult height, to prove it?"
- Hailey to James: "Everything about you is the worst sometimes."
We had a lot of fun together in the evenings. The girls had a glow stick bath, then after they were in bed the grownups played games. We laughed sooo hard! During Catch Phrase, someone said the clue "ballerinas have these." James and I both at the same time said "TOES!" hahahaha!!! What?! The answer was supposed to be pink tutu. Then Berlyn said the clue "a baseball team." Jake, James, and I all said "Orioles" at the same time! What the what?!?! How totally random!!! We think that it was cause we were discussing the Oriole bird earlier that day, but still... crazy!
We all went to the swimming pool. It was Junipers first time! So fun! Scarlett and Berlyn even went on the big twisty slide. Jake and I got our allergy shots before we went to the pool. My grass shot was so swollen and red by the time we went swimming. While I was standing on the side of the pool, the manager came over and told me that some of the other guests were concerned that I had ringworm! Oh no! People were scared of me!!! I reassured him that no one can catch allergies from me and it's just a reaction to my shot. But how embarrassing that people thought I was swimming with a huge fungus on my arm! (also, I thought it was hilarious that Scarlett convinced Berlyn to swim her around! Those two had a great time in the "big kid" pool)
Cousins!!!
Hanging out with the Seavers. The photo in the middle was Skye letting James hold her. She wouldn't lift her head or look at him the whole time, she just held onto his shoulder tightly until another grown up was close enough to hold her. Baby steps. We loved our time visiting with the Seavers and can't wait to see them again - hopefully soon!!!

Wow, they are getting big fast. We'll need to plan a visit there while we can still recognize them (and they can still recognize us!).
Where's the ringworm picture?!
Also, in that last group of pictures, it looks like Skye is drinking beer from a glass. I did a double take!
So fun to see all of your fun. :)
