I'm originally from Washington state where I had hoped to return after college, but it wasn't meant to be (at least not yet). I came all the way to BYU in Utah to get my education and ended up finding Nathan, my husband, who is also from my hometown, and who I dated in high school. Why I had to come all this way beats me. I did finish my degree in Early childhood education in April 2000, however, we decided to start a family rather than have me teach. Kirsten was born in Feb. 2001, then Zachary in Nov. of 2002 and Caleb in Sept. 2006. Now my life is my family and my full time- lifetime job is wife and mother.
Traditions are a wonderful thing. The Gale side of the family has one that the kids do. It is making their turkey. This year the kid did it; I'm not sure if there was more eating or more turkey making going on. caleb sure attached the mandarin oranges with his toothpick, but I don't think one made it into the turkey only into his mouth. We enjoyed the fruits of our labor with the pie finale. Caleb enjoyed it with his hands. Aunt Aubrey joined us in the Thanksgiving feast this year. We were glad to have family with us. We all walked away full and happy!
Do you think you could make me a pattern of the turkey neck thing? Then email it to me...or bring it with you, if you're still coming...We didn't get to our turkey this year...maybe next...or maybe he'll make an appearance for Christmas!!
