Butler Turkey

Addie brought home a "naked" turkey to dress in her outfit of choice for a family project at school.  At first she was a little unsure of what she wanted to do.  I tried to give suggestions but they weren't what she had in mind.  She finally decided it was either going to be an old man or a Butler basketball player.  The ball player won out.  I am glad it did because I had no idea what to do to make an old man turkey.  We had a rainy day on Thursday so we decided to go ahead and get our turkey dressed.  Addie colored her turkey pasted on his clothes.  My job was to cut the clothes and ball out then write on his jersey.  She chose the number 11 because of the year we made it. That really impressed me that she would think of that.  I really need to give her more credit for what she is capable of.  All together I think we made a pretty good turkey.  Her dad was most impressed with her turkey and so proud that he has raised a little Bulldog fan.
She even insisted he have Nike tennis shoes!

Romie wanted her picture taken with Addie's work of art too.
