This was one of the best Thanksgivings I can remember. We started off the celebration with Timmy and Ian's preschool feast. Don't they make cute Pilgrims?
Jon and Jen came up from Utah to celebrate with us and I'm really glad they did. One day was spent at the park. Then we went up to see the high school where the movie Twilight was filmed. The day before Thanksgiving we hiked up to Wahclella Falls. We hardly spent any time in the kitchen and as we were coming back down from the falls I was feeling so grateful for that. Thanksgiving to me isn't about the food but about being with family and having a great time. It will be a great memory with everyone being happy instead of crying at me in the kitchen.
Me and my cute kids at the falls.
Grandma Lay with all the grandkids!
Since we didn't spend any time in the kitchen we went out to dinner. Everyone ordered what they wanted and nobody complained! Timmy got a hamburger, Matthew got a hot dog, and everyone else got the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner we all went to the movie. When the movie was over we all needed a little activity so we went and played dodge ball at the church. And let me tell you Lay family dodge ball is viscous, although fun in the end. After dodge ball we went home and had a turkey breast with rolls, some of our favorite appetizers and pies of course! It was definitely the perfect Thanksgiving day!
