Thanksgiving and Charlie's birthday

 My mom and I put on Thanksgiving at the rec room where we live so we had tons of space. We had everyone this year, although some of us were with us via Iphone.  We had a huge meal, tons of crafts to do, Phineas and Ferb on the big projector and even built a huge playground with my brothers jumbo puzzle mat thingy's.  So fun this year!



Charlie's birthday has been falling on Thanksgiving day the last 2 years but this year it was the day after.  I think everyone's favorite part were the 100 balloons that I blew up the night before.  All we got him was a big box of foam blocks and balloons and he was in heaven all day.
 Traditional breakfast crepes.
 Spanish Fork Christmas Light Parade. 
Charlie got bored of the parade after a little bit and started wondering around.  John followed him and said that this little 12 year old girl was talking with her friends with a glow stick in her hand and Charlie went up to her and started sword fighting glow sticks with her. Then wondered over to some other people and sat down in one of their camp chairs.  He ended up at the playground and played on the swings for the rest of the parade.  John said he was absolutely giddy on the swing, laughing, screaming, and having the time of his life.  That seems like a good 2nd birthday to me.

Your Thanksgiving looks so cool - did you make all those decorations?? I am glad that Charlie didn't have to share his birthday with a turkey this year - it looked like a fun day!

I actually found a free printable thanksgiving party packet online. It had everything, banners, food tags, silverware wrappers. So it worked out pretty cheap!
