We enjoyed our traditional go to both sides of the family for Thanksgiving again this year. When David and I first got married we couldn't bear to not go to our parents house on Thanksgiving day, so we've always shared the holiday with everyone. Since we've been married David has always gone to the Turkey Bowl. He started out playing with the men, then when Trey came of age he played with the Young Men, then Allie started going and he would spend some of his time coaching the powder puff game, and then this year Connor, Tanner and Sydney went and he helped coach a fun flag football game with them. For years I have made my assigned side dishes and then headed off the the gym to meet Julie and Lori for our "pre-feast" work out.
So, this is how we celebrate Thanksgiving, and we like it. I have to admit I have never made a turkey in my life and probably never will.
A tradition that we always enjoy at grammy and grandpa's house is the basketball shoot off. This year there was a 3-way tie with the kids and Grammy convinced Grandpa to fork over the cash instead of having them shoot again...score!
This year we went with Sexton's to Mimi's Cafe for lunch/brunch and back to their house for pie, that Allie made with Grandmother. So most of us ordered breakfast and then has the traditional dinner and Grammy and Grandpa's.

Love the photo of the winners...wait a minute. Too many Sextons. That contest was rigged.
I love the picture of the "winners." I also noticed five winners--enough for a team of their own. What-da-ya say?
THANKSGIVING was great this year. Thanks for your part in making it that way.
PS ~ I noticed that in the picture of the girls we are all wearing black, grey, and browns. I think we should win something for perfect coordinating.
sounds great, lis.

Haha, yeah Joel, that's David's idea of a practical joke on Carter.
