The Tale of Three Thanksgivings

This year we had three Thanksgivings. Towards the end of October our friends Brandon and Emily invited us and some other friends over for a pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving. Lots of food and fun. Next, for the week of Thanksgiving, Zach, Jayme, James, and Hayden came to play with us and we loved it. Poor James was sick pretty much the whole time he was here and even had a trip to the ER. I'm not sure he had a great time. One day Luke, Zach, Jayme, and Hayden went hunting and to find mountain sheep while I stayed home and watched the boys. They saw a couple big rams and maybe a dozen 4-point mule deer bucks, they said one was huge.

We all went for a couple walks because James seemed happiest outside. Jaxon decided to try going superman style down the slide (not prompted) and he liked it so much he did it several more times.

  I decided that we should have Thanksgiving on Monday so we could have leftovers all week and there would be less cooking. Jayme made some delicious pies, Luke and Zach cooked a mean turkey, and my rolls turned out halfway decent. Yay for us! 

 On actual Thanksgiving we went over to a friend's house. There was a normal turkey, a deep fried turkey, and a smoked chicken. Eight pies... So much food. Poor James was having a rough day so he and Jayme stayed home and we brought them leftovers.

We are thankful for family and glad Zach and co. came to visit. We hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. We look forward now to the Christmas season. Time to change the decorations and put up the lights.
