Jeff & I were so excited to host our first Thanksgiving ever, but especially in our new home! We had both families which was really fun. Unfortunately Grammy wasn't there because she was helping Great Grandma A celebrate her 80th birthday in Nebraska! I'm proud to say everything went pretty darn smooth & the dinner tasted great (with lots of help from everyone both bringing sides & helping with the prep) and most important, everyone had a blast. We started the day with our family's favorite tradition, The Turkey Bowl! It was really fun because the Johnson Family met us at the park between our houses & played against us! :) Lots of laughs & some pretty athletic plays & of course, it all came down to a kick-off of field goals between trees. The night ended with a ping-pong tourney...complete with brackets & all. :) Here are some pictures from the day.
Jeff teaching Brady how to carve the turkeys--we fried one & baked the other!
I love my square dining table!! :)
Our good friend Shuey made the trophy we were playing for!
Johnsons brought over some Gatorade bottles...half filled with water, half with beer! :)
Couldn't get over the eye black!
Jenny made these little bad boys for halftime...orange slice jello shots!
Lez was about 2 weeks from having Blake so she had to sit this one out...she took some awesome action shots, though!!
Jerry Bryce was at it again...
Good kick buddy!
Livvy had her Thanksgiving Feast at school the Monday before Thanksgiving--I had to stay home with sick Brady but Aunt Gina & Uncle Dusty came to eat the "feast!" :)
Grandma came over & helped me make my 4 pies! Two pumpkin, one apple & one cherry!
She is the master!!
**It is my goal to get all caught up on my blogging over the next week or so! It has been a wild last couple of months! :)**
