Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! This year we are thankful for friends, family, teachers, talents, books, music, history, happy people, good health, pancakes with powdered sugar, sunshine, boots, fingers, dancing, language, Z bars, Legos, art, cougars, kind words, fresh air, flowers, pink, soft blankets, cars, testimonies, heroes, temples, chocolate, and the constitution. 

We began our Thanksgiving celebration with a neighborhood football game.  I was busy cooking but I did snap a couple pictures from our front door.  Sounds of laughter, cheering, and touchdown celebrations on our street could be heard from miles around.  I had a fun time listening to it all.

Next the boys started a game of Axis and Allies (heaven) - which lasted three days.  When I woke up this morning I was started to see Brigham downstairs standing in the moonlight staring at the game board.  When I asked him what he was doing up so early he said, "I'm thinking about my next move."

Eliza wishes Axis and Allies wasn't such a long game.

Then we headed over to the McKays for Thanksgiving Feast.

And what a feast it was!  Everything was delicious - including all the pies and cranberry ice which I forgot to take pictures of.

The adult table was disproportionately smaller than the kids table - which was all smiles.

Gobble Gobble!
