Happy Thanksgiving!

Once again, we ate too much, watched football too much and laughed too much. OK, you can never laugh too much but we did have a great time. Kelly, Ryan and Abbott came over Wednesday night and Jarred, Jack and I joined the festivities on Thursday.

We started out with a few appetizers of fruits and veggies, chips and salsa, stuffed jalapenos, olives and the Tennessee Titans game. The appetizers were yummy and the Titans won- a great way to start the day.

For lunch we had turkey, dressing, gravy, mac & cheese, green bean casserole and cottage cheese, avocado & tomato salad and the Cowboys game. Lunch was yummy and the Cowboys won- a perfect middle of the day.

For dinner we had your choice of lunch leftovers or chili or beans and the Texas vs. Texas A&M game. Dinner was yummy and Texas won- a perfect evening!

One of our favorite things to do as a family is play games. We usually play cards but Ryan had never played Aggravation. We loved playing this game when we were kids so we played. Ryan quickly caught on and began aggravating all of us. He focused more on aggravating than he did winning. Mom won the first game and Dad won the second. It was great!

The rest of the weekend was more of the same. Mom, Kelly and I did venture out Friday evening and did a little shopping. Kelly bought a new game called Fact or Crap and we played it Friday night. It was a lot of fun and we laughed a lot! Saturday, Kelly, Ryan and Abbott headed home and Jack stayed with Popo and Momo Jo while Jarred and I went to the Tennessee vs. Kentucky football game. It was our coach's last game after 17 years and we wanted to be there. I have tons of pictures from the game to post after this one. For now, enjoy the Turkey Day pics.

Gotta get in your own game of football. Ryan jumps for a catch while Dad rests his sore shoulder. He may be out for the season.

Kelly hid Jack in the pile of leaves. Can you find him?

My mom was part of the Thanksgiving happenings, somehow I didn't get many pictures of her. Sorry, Mom. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, too!

Sounds like fun! We played aggravation just a week or so ago and the boys just loved it. Dacie got in on the action by rolling the dice for everyone so that worked out nicely. I wasn't really sure how that would work!
