Since our locally based family wasn't able to spend Thanksgiving together, Papa and Jacky hosted a brunch on Sunday. Good food! Yum!Then it was on to the next project on our Agenda, wreath making. Using things from nature and some beautiful freeze-dried fruit, the kids each put one together. Then they left it to the adults to do the hot-gluing while they went and played with rocks and dirt.
We then headed to the local mall for our 2nd Annual "Feed the Turkey" trip. We started this last year instead of getting all the cousins Christmas gifts (it was getting out of hand!) The kids helped shop for the non-perishables, we talked about the significance of the trip and then we headed over to the Turkey to deposit the food...
We spent some time dancing to the Christmas music and being merry...
before heading over to Santa Claus to make our Christmas wishes and sing a little song...
The trip concluded with lovely hot chocolate courtesy of Jacky and the local bakery. It was a beautiful day from the weather to the wonderful time spent with family.

Gorgeous photos and what great traditions to come back to every year.
And love Aidan's Jack Nicholson impression.
