We decided to start a new family tradition: football on thanksgiving! What do ya think? Cool right? Yeah good idea but few actually showed up. LOL oh well we had a blast anyway:) It was Boik and Lisa with Hudson, Lily, and us and all our kids. We got out there at 7:30 am, which is the reason no one else came, and it was COLD!! Everyone was like "Its too Early...Why can't we start at 9?" Babies:0 LOL!! Just kidding guys...but you better be ready next year!

Nice catch!

Looks like alot of standing around Max was on the field

Thier GRRR faces!

We did boys against girls. I prob dont have to tell ya how that went:)

Our Grrr faces kinda sucked!
Tiera took most of the pictures. She did pretty good, she doesnt know how to zoom so the ones of us playing dont show alot, but thats ok:) Us girls were always trying to come up with a better plan to keep the ball away from the boys. They always some how figured out what our plan was before we could carry it out!! I am proud to say that I made 2 of our 4 points!!:)

Early Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving on Sunday with Bruce's family. Its pretty wild jamming everybody into our house, but I like hosting:) Its easier to be home with the baby thats for sure! This year I did the turkey again but I decided to try something different...I saw on food network (once again!) the secret to a moist turkey. Best thing ever I'm telling you if you are doing the turkey this year you gotta try this! Brine your turkey! For the brine: 2 gal water, 1 cup salt, 1 cup sugar, and fresh poultry herbs. Make enough to cover over the turkey and soak 24 hours. It definately was moist and yummy:) Anyway enough about that, as usual the guys played ps2 games all day! Us girls got the food ready, served it, cleaned it up, and played a board game, then put out desserts, served it and cleaned it up again! All the while the guys played oblivous except when someone walked in front of them, or if one of the kids pulled the cord out. Kinda funny they all were scrambling to get it set back up:) The little girls came down wearing a different outfits everytime we saw them. Thats what girls do I guess:) The kids pretty much ran and wrecked as much as possible which surprisingly was'nt alot! There was 2 2yr olds, 1 3yr old, 1 4yr old and 1 8yr old boys so thats why I say wreck;) Good food, good company!:)
