My Thanksgiving {Rachel}

I don't know about your Thanksgiving, but mine was pretty great. I had a lot of fun, and made a lot of new memories. I told you the game plan in one of my earlier posts, so here is how it all went down.

Wednesday afternoon my cousins came to my house, we ate lunch played a game and just hung out. Oh, and Makayla and I made a Lemon Meringue pie! It looked really pretty, but didn't taste that great. After dinner was when the real party started. We have this tradition, but usually we do it the day after Thanksgiving not the day before. We play games to earn 'cousin cash' then we buy treats with our cash and watch a movie while we eat all of our treats! It is/was way fun, and has always been. But this year my mom added something new. We had to make a movie using a random object she gave to us {Makayla and I got some glasses}, and the word gobble. {Makayla and I where partners, our video is below.} The movie we watched this year was Christmas Oranges it is such a cute movie! It is also very sad, but it has a great story line.

After we woke up, ate breakfast, got all ready we made our way to Pleasant Grove, where we would be having the real feast. When we got there I didn't want to touch the table... it was so pretty and set so perfectly! The food was super yummy! My favorite part was the turkey, and mashed potatoes {It always is!}

After the food we made some crafts, and played some games. Including a game of football, but don't worry I didn't play, just the boys. It was so funny to watch all the dads+the littlest boy vs all the 10 year old boys! Plus, we all danced our little hearts out when we had a Just Dance Wii competition!


Happy Thanksgiving!
Love,
