We’ve been celebrating Thanksgiving at the Witzel house for a few years. It has easily become one of my favorite holidays. #1 reason is we make Bloody Mary’s. Only slightly kidding about that being the #1 reason. I just really love how relaxing the day is. The kids have a great time, we eat good food, and just enjoy each other’s company. Somehow each year we get better at the planning. Which allowed time to sit and watch some of a Lifetime movie. I don’t think I’ve watched a Lifetime movie since I was on “bed rest” with Sevea.
The Lifetime movie only held our interest for so long. So it wasn’t a bad thing when the kids wanted our attention. Cohen absolutely loves games. Board games, video games, physical games, you name it he likes it. So he was very happy to play a game with Keeley and Sevea. That game wasn’t enough so the daycare lady in me pulled out my Thanksgiving game, Don’t Eat Pete. This time all the kids joined for the game. Let me tell you about the game and you’ll quickly realize why they all wanted to play and requested that we play it every year. Every person has a game card with different looking turkey’s. All of the players besides the person who’s turn it is, pick which Turkey is Pete. Place CANDIES on all the turkey’s and you eat the candy and hope you aren’t eating Pete. They got excited to find Pete but it was great because no one really lost. They all got to eat candy. Best game to keep fighting to a minimum and get everyone involved. Up next we played Thanksgiving BINGO. This was also a hit since they got to eat the candy at the end of the game (since we can’t eat our playing pieces during the game). They also learned a few new things about the holiday since some of the game spots brought up questions. #daycareladywin
The kids would say they were thankful for “swimming” outside in November.
