Thanksgiving Weekend

Our first Thanksgiving in our house. It was a very good one. The clan arrived Wednesday night and got settled in. Mom helped me make 2 Pumpkin pies and 2 Apple pies from scratch. They turned out very yummy! Thursday Kris and Dad woke up super early and went to play in a Turkey Bowl. Lets just say they came back slightly damaged. Kris tried to run through dad and messed up his shoulder. Dinner was very nice! We had Grandma & Grandpa Mecham, Chuck & Kathy, and of course my family over. Everyone contribute to the dinner so we had way more than 10 people could eat. But isn't that what it is all about. Good food and family! After dinner the women started scanning the ad's for the best shopping deals and mapping out the stores to be at in the morning. I never take part in Black Friday. Its just too much for someone who doesn't really like shopping to begin with. After that we played the usual games. Farkle and Marbles are the family fav lately. It was a very good day.
