Thanksgiving...

Just a little late! Hannah and David were both pilgrims for their school programs this year and they were precious! I think I ended up with more video than photos, which is kind of a shame since I am terrible with the video camera! Here are a couple of pictures of my little pilgrims:

 

We also started a new tradition this year- I saw it years ago on a blog and knew that when Hannah and David were big enough I wanted to do it... A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving! We love the Charlie Brown movies at our house and the "feast" that Snoopy prepares is right up Hannah's alley!

I put the popcorn inside the paper-bag turkey, and Snoopy wore David's pilgrim hat. : )

Daddy "carving" the turkey

Hannah LOVED this, she thought it was so much fun! We actuallly got her to try a few jelly beans, she wasn't too crazy about them, but at least she gave them a try! (Yes, her pickiness even spreads into "treats")

David loved having dinner with Snoopy and I think this will be a fun night-before Thanksgiving tradition!

David is drinking "green juice" - Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness or Naked Juice Green Machine are our favorites- thought I'd add this in, otherwise I know I'll get questions asking what in the world is in his cup!  ; )

The Charlie Brown feast is popcorn, jelly beans, toast and pretzels if you've never seen the show

One of our lunches this week, there are two trays, one for Hannah, one for David.

Top L-R: bunny/bear peanut butter&honey sandwiches, red grapes, Greek yogurt with honey

Bottom L-R: cubed salami, red apple slices,  cheese shapes and crackers

David loves salami- he cracks me up, he calls it sa-mommy.

I think it is so easy to get into a lunch rut! Hannah is an incredibly picky eater and sometimes that can just suck out any creativity/fun of planning lunches. It can be hard to put in effort to have your crazy picky eater turn up her nose and refuse to even try what you spent time making! But lately I am trying to make a variety of things and present them in a fun way, there is always something on the plate that Hannah likes, and something new or something she doesn't like. I figure it is my job to make/ serve the food, and hers to eat it. : )

Top left- grahm-crackers, cucumber flowers with dip, cheddar bunnies,

Bottom left- plums (skin is off), mini quiche with cheese flower, green apples with cheese flowers
