So thankful..............

The animals were in fine form this morning.  They had a FEAST, oranges, apples, celery, broccoli, potato peels.......They are sure spoiled.

These two TOMS were given a reprieve.........
I just didn't have the heart to have them for dinner........PLUS it's alot of work......chopping heads off, plucking feathers, cleaning out innards...........yucky work.  Give me a store bought turkey any day.

Guess who ran this ?!?!

This sweet girl and her mama !
This is a BEFORE race pic

And this is the AFTER pic !!
They look GREAT !!  GO GIRLS !!

Roger D helped carve the turkey.  Mom put on quite the spread :)  Love You MOM and DAD

Tagg dressed as a Indian, brought  his drum, and a Thanksgiving book he made in school.  He is going to be an excellent reader, just like his BIG brother.

The Three Amigos

This is the way we do it - it's easier than passing things around the table.  Instead we just WALK around the table. 

We had a little bit of everything.......

FEED ME !!

Me too !!
We're hungry !!

The Arizona Gang, headed to Casa Grande to eat with Bren's folks 

At the table
Mom, Dad, Dawna, Ray, Erika, Aaron, Colton, Brian, Zac, CJ, Treyson. Tagg, Thatcher, Kacey, Payson, Roger and Gwen

CJ made these cute things for us to fill out.
Here is Treyson's
He starts out naming things..........then just decides to cover it all with EVERYTHING !

Pretty good for a Kindergartner I think !

Scary Dad !!  (Payson doesn't know if he likes Zac or not.  Maybe he will be like Jaden was with Roger D.  I don't think Jaden even spoke or looked at Roger until he was 15 years old, seriously !! While Zac was scaring Thatch by being a monster, Pays was safely at his mom's side, but had a cute smile on his face as he watched the action :)

These two crazy yahoos are doing the whole BLACK FRIDAY thing..........in fact, they are probably in Ogden right now (6pm)  - They took me one year, but I think I was more of a hindrance......Must have been all of those yawns :)

Grandpa Roger and his buddies

We took a walk down to the property, but NO BURN this year...........dang Fire Marshal and his "rules"     I seriously think it would have been totally fine to burn today - bummer !

Treyson is a good brother and cousin :)

Well, that is all for Thanksgiving 2013

It would have been great to have all of our family around us, but Mark and Carrie and family were at her parents, Tiana on a mission in Texas, Lance at Stanford, Landon is in the Philippines, and the AZ crew down south
It was still a wonderful day, and we are truly blessed.
