THANKSGIVING TURKEY BOWL!

First Thanksgiving away from family.....wasn't to bad.  The young men all decided to get together to have the annual turkey bowl, which doesn't happen often cause of weather.  They all said last year was -50 with 2 feet of snow on the ground.   But this year was beautiful.....no snow or wind and in the +50s.  Brandon even got in on the action and I am still hearing about his chest injury!  We had a great time eating turkey with some new friends who invited us over.  We did miss all of our family and remembered how grateful we are to have them in our lives.  This year, believe it or not, I am grateful for North  Dakota.  It has been a great place to bring our family to.  It has made me realize how lucky I am to have 4 healthy misbehaved boys that I love, a husband who is willing to try new things, and the  Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  It is really the same no matter where you are.
 Sam was so glad to have a day to play outside!  And he loves balls, no matter what kind.
 Ike just wanted to play with the big kids,  Jack apparently didn't want him to.
 But.... he had more fun with his truck anyway.
 Ayd had a blast and even got to play quarterback a few times.
Some of the men....what a nice day!

Glad you had a good Thanksgiving. Ours was good too. Definitely quieter without you guys (and not in a good way). Hope to see you soon. BTW, I liked your post on Dakon on Facebook.
