Lots to Be Thankful For This Thanksgiving

I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for the first time this year. It wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. Hooray for that!

John's Dad and stepmom Lurlynn, my sister Megan and another friend of ours joined us for Thanksgiving dinner this year.

It's not Thanksgiving without a football game. We always played football with my cousins and family growing up. With my sister Megan in town, the two of us decided to crash the ward turkey bowl game Thanksgiving morning. We were the only two girls... and with a bunch of missionaries playing, 2 hand touch might have been a bit uncomfortable for the poor missionaries. That might explain why we each scored a couple touchdowns... or maybe we're just good :)

Lurlynn watched Mia and Norah on the sidelines and cheered us on. Mia took the pictures.

Mia loved being photographer. The photo below was taken by her.

John's first time carving a turkey. John's dad had to make sure we were fully prepared to do so and the two of them had to make a Walmart run for an electric knife :)
