A Thankful Thanksgiving

Yes, I am late! I can't let this time go undocumented. We had such a fun time with Family, both near and far. This year we had everybody here for Thanksgiving and some visitors as well. Shelley and Jason came with their whole family and Mom and Lee where here as well.

Thanksgiving is a tough time for me....meaning.....it is not my favorite Holiday. Big Surprise! However, this year was so enjoyable. The weather was beautiful, we had good food, we had a blast with Shelley and Jason, we learned how to dip pretzels (courtesy of Shelley), McCall had a good visit with Beau, and I loved having my kids and grandkids to share the Holiday with! What could be better? Here's the pictures to prove it!

The rules of "Dodge Ball" are revealed

Just a word here.....This year we decided to play Dodge Ball on Thanksgiving afternoon. (a suggestion by Shelley) Jason and Shelley bought some balls at WalMart and we had a fierce "Dodge Ball" game in the Church Gym......Hmmm we knew someone that had a key! We had a blast. The little kids thought it was the BEST! The guys took it so serious!!! We have bruises from balls thrown at lightening speeds! Yes, you, Ryan Bennett! It seriously took some effort to stay in. Well, the girls didn't have a chance............next year!
