Thanksgiving

I really love Thanksgiving. It is a time to be with family and just enjoy. It is starting to be a holiday that I look most forward to. I really like that it is about giving thanks and being with family. The yummy food part isn't so bad either. I always love when it is with my side of the family. The food is fantastic and just the way I like it, and the company is all so much fun. This year it was my Aunt Marilee and Uncle Todd, the Richards, and my little bit of family that is left in Utah (minus David and his crew). Of course my parents hosted the dinner.

It is fun for me cause my mom lets me help out with the decor and the food. Okay lets me is being a little untrue. I just do what I want. She is nice enough to let me do what I want. This year I was excited because one of my friends put some cute crafts for kids on her blog. So yes I stole the idea and used it. I think it turned out really cute and the kids loved it. My aunt Marilee also put cute little turkey name tags on the table.

I really enjoy being apart of the cooking. This year I was in charge of the rolls and the beans. I am starting to get pretty use to making rolls for a large group. The more I make the easier and better they are getting. The beans are sooo yummy and so not good for you.

Thanksgiving for Jeron means two things Football and Food. Jeron starts his day off bright and early with a Turkey Bowl with his side of the family. His cousins and brother all get together and play TACKLE football. I am hoping that one day he figures out that tackle is not okay. Once he gets home from that he enjoys watching football and eating. Here is Brent and Jeron doing what they do best watching the game.

The kids are enjoying the coloring pages and headdresses that JJ and Emma made.
I lost the pattern for the Pilgrim hats that I normally make so we made do with kids as Indians and adults as boring Pilgrims.

Ahh, I am so thankful for these two:)
I love this pic of the big kids. My favorite part is Elsie trying to get in the pic.
Calee and me and some weird looking guy in the back.
All the kids enjoying their places.

We had a wonderful day. I was stuffed to the max and enjoyed my family. Thanks Mom and Dad for another wonderful Thanksgiving.
