Max was actually happy playing by himself during dinner- which almost never happens! He always wants to eat when we eat. It was so nice to sit down and enjoy all the yummy food. These pics are actually after dinner. He thought he would help look for some good deals in the day after Thanksgiving sale ads.

I was a little upset at first when we couldn't find any pie tins and I was in charge of pumpkin pie. So we made pumpkin pie bars! I was sad that it wasn't going to look pretty, but it ended up looking ok in the end, and it tasted good, which is what counts. Right?
The Kettles ALWAYS have a football game before dinner, and all adults are required to play, unless you are pregnant or the designated babysitter (which is always Sandy, Danny's mom). I of course played better than ever and as always, I scored a touchdown. I am happy to report that this is our third Kettle Thanksgiving and I have scored at least one touchdown every year. And no, I am never modest about it. We always have special beanies for the occasion that Dan makes for us (Danny's parents own Kettle Embroidery). We look extra good in yellow and black, I must say.
Here I am guarding Missy, who was no match to my God given raw football talent.
Danny and Scott ready to throw down!
Max and Lil snuggling this morning.
This year I am so thankful for so many things. We have such amazing families, and we are so glad that we have our own little family now. Max brings us more joy than we ever could have imagined. We are thankful for two little businesses that are really picking up. We are so lucky to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. We hope to remember all of our blessings and be more aware of them, especially during the upcoming Holiday Season. We hope all our friends and family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!



Looks like a ton of fun!! I miss Rexburg, but from the looks of it, it was cold, and I don't miss that!

ReplyDeleteI will say that your hair is soooooo cute. I like it a lot better shorter, though it was still cute before. The cut now is sophisticated, but still stylish. I am seconds away from chopping my hair even shorter than yours! Here comes the pixie!
