T-Day

It's our favorite! Maybe cause we like to eat. Whatever the reason it was a fabulous weekend. The kids made pie crust shapes- unfortunately the only ones that aren't in storage are Christmas ones :) Lorenzo lounged on the couch and watched football. Bradly ate an entire bowl of cheeseball. Chris made an amazing pecan pie- only his second time trying (he's pretty proud of himself). Mommy made a turkey tv dinner- outta cupcakes!. And Jamus slept and ate through it all. What a holiday. We got to have some new friends from the ward over, too... who'd have thought little Adna people would meet up clear across the country! Gotta love having fam away from fam. And, thanks to Jana and Joe, the game 'Ticket to Ride' is on the top of our Christmas list.
Can't have Turkey day without capturing a moment with the gravy boat. You know you missed it Montanos.
A Wii showdown. The guys had to throw it in the three-year olds faces when they won.
Lo watching the game.
Brads doing the baking.
Should have stopped cooking here. It's got it all. Mashed potatoes, pudding...
All hopped up on jello.

We SOOO miss the gravy boat. It was not nearly as nice to have to just use our measuring cup this year. Glad you had a good thanksgiving. Ours went well too. Cheeseball turned out fabulous, I really screwed up the chocolate pie though. We'll have to save that one for the next time we see you.

Hey Mel how are you!? Wow! It feels like we haven't seen each other in forever. I miss ya! Your kids are so cute and I definitely could use those faces for some modeling. Where are you guys living? I can't believe how crazy this is.

We love ticket to ride! It is one of our faves. We also love the game 'blokus'. Ever heard of it? It seems like it would be Chris' kind of game. It's really fast---that's why I like it!
