Thanksgiving

So we celebrated Thanksgiving with both sides of our family this year.  It was also Marlee and Keegan's 10th birthday on the Sunday we celebrated with my side.  It was a delicious meal and a very fun evening hanging out together.  I can't believe these two are 10!!

This was the first Thanksgiving in 5 years that we were home.  We missed seeing our friends in California and spending time with soccer family, but it was really nice to be home with Dave's family.  There were 53 of us this year and it was a wonderful day.  We were all able to eat together in the basement and spend the day enjoying each other's company, watching some football, and making some graham cracker candy houses.  It was a great holiday weekend with a lot of the kids home from college and married grandkids stopping by.  The family is really growing up, but we had almost everyone there this year!

Maylene also brought a game of Bean Boozled that some of the brave people played.  You had to answer a question about Thanksgiving and if you got it wrong you had to spin the wheel and take your 50/50 chance of getting a good or nasty tasting jelly bean.  Some of the bad ones were stinky socks, skunk spray, and vomit.  Boy...those were gross!

There were some pretty fancy graham cracker house architects, but they all turned out yummy!
