In the morning, we'll be with my family. For a laid-back brunch, where we have the opportunity to just sit around, talk, and hopefully play some games.
Oh yeah. And eat.
There are 10 kids, ranging in age from 18 to 2 months. So I expect there will be a lot of laughter!
But then that afternoon, we'll be with Jet's family (most of them anyway). Where there will be 10 kids ranging in ages from 7 to 2 months.
Can we say LOUD?! CrAzY, fun times ahead!
So...this year, I wanted to make sure that all those young kids had something specifically designed for them. a special sumpin-sumpin for them to remember. hopefully something that they will not only remember, but cherish.
One of the great things about children is, it doesn't take much to please them. Just a little recognition and interaction. And so I researched Thanksgiving Crafts and Games.
Here's the template for the Turkey Hat we'll be doing at Aunt Joanna's house:
I am using the kid's handprints for the wings and white construction paper eyes instead of pom-poms. I figure there's enough to spend money on without buying little white pom-poms.
And to help the different parts glue, I used clothes pins. Just *clip* them on, keep them there for about 10 minutes, and ta-da...it's glued! Otherwise, I'm sure the pieces would fall off before they made it through 5 minutes on the child's head.
Now. I'm off to finish up the Turkey Pinata. God help me.
