Thanksgiving (and of course Football)

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We enjoyed having family around for the holiday. We went to Kevin and Jenna's house for the Thanksgiving dinner. I spent all morning pretty much cooking. Don went to play football with his brothers and people in the ward. I guess they were all on the same team and lost every game. They had one person from the ward on their team and he asked to be switched to another team. HA HA! At least Don has a little bit of motivation to get into shape now. Here is a picture of the Thanksgiving pies we ate. Jenna made the one with the finger swipe in it. Carter decided to take a early taste. I am sure it was just to check to see if everything was ok. ;)
These next pictures are from the aftermath of the dinner.
I just love the contrast between Don and everyone else.
Here Kevin got down and played with the kids. They love uncle Kevin!

You know I don't know why Don put that on his head. HMMM.....maybe I shouldn't claim him.
This picture was taken after we got home. Don enjoyed cuddling Elena. She doesn't always let us anymore. She is way too old for that!
Now on to the BYU vs. Utah game pictures. These first pictures were originally taken to occupy the boys for a little while. They were getting restless and wanted attention so I grabbed them and took some shoots.


At first the game was slow and close, everyone was tense and concentrating on the game.
But as you can see here we ended up winning the game in the last minute and a half.

I just wish my camera took pictures fast. It takes forever to actually take it. I bet it is a 5 second delay. By that time all the good reactions are over with. Sigh. Thanks everyone for reading!

I love this post :)

It looks like you guys had such an awesome week. Too bad you aren't in any of the pictures. I'll fix that next time we're together, lol.

I love that although I was home missing everything you took all these pictures to share with us.

And how cute is the one of Don and Elena..so sweet.
Hope to see you soon.

I know it has taken me a long time to comment, but here it is. I absolutely love the picture of the three little boys together, the one where Jaxon has his arms around the two cousins. Too cute for words! :)
