We had a great Thanksgiving with Nate's family this year. It started off with a turkey bowl football game with the Pack's vs. the
Clawson's. I was recruited for the
Clawson team because they are my genes you know. We had a great time. I haven't played football in a very long time and didn't realize how many muscles you use when you play. I was sore for DAYS after. Really sore. The
Clawson's ended up pulling out the win. I'm glad that I got to play with both of my families on this day. I'm very blessed!
Grandma let the kids make their own personal pudding pies. They had such a great time making the pudding and pressing out the crust. These were their prized possessions all day and for days afterward. It was a great idea to get the kids involved.
I always like to have the kids dress up for Thanksgiving. We have been reading a book about the Pilgrims this month as a family. The book had lots of pictures and it was fun "reenacting" the first Thanksgiving with them. I don't think anyone else was really all that excited about making the costumes. I put Nate in charge of making them while I was helping prepare food and he delegated it to his brothers. They were complaining the whole time. That's Nate for you -- the master
delegator. Ella didn't keep her hat on for long, but she looked so sweet with it on.
Here is our little Pilgrim boy. He was enjoying his candy/nut cup before the feast began.
Here is our Indian and our little Pilgrim girl. We had the best food at Thanksgiving this year. Everyone brought such creative things to share and it was all so delicious. We ended the night going up to Grandma and Grandpa
Clawson's for pie. It is so fun having both of our families live 10 minutes away from each other because it allows us to spend time with both of them more often. We have so many blessings to be thankful for this year and it was a great day to ponder all of them.
