2 Thanksgivings...what could be better?

Someone call Jenny Craig because we are going to need it. After Thanksgiving #1 + the pie fest, we headed to Mesquite to do a second Thanksgiving with Ammons family. All of Ammons brothers and sisters were having Thanksgiving in Mesquite on Friday and so we were able to all be together as a family. That has only happened a few times since we have been married so it is such a treat.
It was so good to see and visit with everyone. There were a lot of laughs and good times and more good food. Addie and Kimball got to go stay with grandma a night by themselves and have so much fun. They love it when someone doesn't say no to them :-)

What a WONDERFUL trip it was to see so much family and make so many memories. We are truly blessed with good family and friends

Happy Thanksgiving

Although its a shame, there's no way to beat it. 3 days to prepare and 30 minutes to eat it.
So true so true. But boy the food was SO good! The food alone was worth the drive but the company was even better.
For the last few years, we have had the dinner in our garage but we thought it would be way to cold this year so we settled in downstairs nice and tight.
After dinner, the kids put on a show, all by themselves. They came up with the idea, the wardrobe, the script, everything.

I was only able to capture a small part of the play but I think we should start a theater :-)

Ending with the pie fest yummmmmy
16 pies this year

Turkey Bowl

Thanksgiving morning was -8 with a windchill of -22 (COOOOOLD!!!) but come rain, come shine, come snow, come sleat, the turkey bowl cannot be stopped.

The guys played a great game and although I don't know anything that went on....Are you kidding, I'm not crazy enough to go out in that weather....okay maybe for just a minute to take a couple pictures and cheer on my man.
Ammons #1 fan wanted to go cheer on his daddy...he didn't care that it was freezing cold and he was still in his jammies. Go team go
