Thanksgiving is a very special day in the Jensen family. Yes, we get to officially celebrate gratitude for our innumerable blessings (hopefully, we do this daily – not once a year). And, it’s when we start cranking up the Christmas carols on our iTunes. But, perhaps most importantly, it’s the one day of the year that the Turkey Shirt can come out of the closet.
Behold, the Turkey Shirt!
It’s really a shame that there aren’t more Turkey-themed holidays, because the world would benefit from more Turkey-shirt exposure.
This Thanksgiving we were hoping to go visit the Porters down in Florida. But, an unfortunate side effect of Matt’s job switch was a lack of vacation days. So, we weren’t able to make the trip. But, we were able to spend Turkey-Shirt Day with our friend Mike and the missionaries. Melinda provided the turkey and cranberry sauce. Matt made rolls. Mike did the sides…and the missionaries brought their appetites. A good time was had by all!
Thanksgiving at Mike's
Adelaide celebrated from her car seat
with some delicious green beans and carrots.
(The Turkey Bib is a lesser cousin of the Turkey Shirt.)
We’ll post more later about Christmas preparations and Black Friday Microwave Wars. Oh, and here is another CUTE picture of Adelaide to end this post with. Matt's cousin Sara sent her some awesome bows to spruce up her holiday attire. Sara sells bows and more at her etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MyCutiePieDesigns
Thanks Aunt Sara!
TURKEY TURKEY! Lincoln was just reminding us of Thanksgiving at Doug and Angela's sans turkey. I guess that was really difficult for him! :) Missed you guys this year.
