What? No Turkey!

I could post some pictures of our family stuffing our faces, but I won't. Instead I thought I would only tell you about us stuffing our faces. First of all, our family started a new tradition about four years ago, I let the kids help choose what we will eat for our thanksgiving feast. This year I asked the kids to vote on what we would cook this year. What do you know, turkey did not win! Ty's famous hot chicken wings won instead, so that is what we had. Here are some of the kids other favorite foods that we had; celery stuffed with cheese, olives and pickles to pick at while I was cooking. The pies that they chose were pumpkin, chocolate pudding pie and orea pudding pie. They also wanted nacho's for thanksgiving, so we did that too. Of course we can't forget the jello jigglers (that is a tradition my mother started when I was a kid), and my favorite is the rolls. I cheated this year and bought frozen dough instead of making them from scratch.

Happy Thanksgiving to every one!
I asked each of the kids to tell me what they are thankful for this year and here are their answers.

Dallin- food
Jayden- my dog Titan
Sadie- the whole family, animals, and house
Aubrie- icecream, Titan, food, family, our house, friends
Halen- brownies and chocolate pudding pie
Ty- my family and my job
Tamie- family and friends, my house

Halen finished up the soccer season last week. This was his third season and he was pretty agressive trying to help his team. He broke his pinky finger being goalie, but it didn't hold him back too much. Grandma and Grandpa Gerber and Jensen came to cheer him on. On one of the days that it looked as if the game would be cancelled due to rain, he said "Oh no, soccer is my life!" His sense of humor has been really something else this summer and he has said many things that have made us laugh.
