Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, Allan and I started off by going to the annual Turkey Bowl. I was so excited for it. It's a bunch of friends (led by Sky & Brandon) playing football. And it is serious business. This year, they made Turkey Bowl 2008 shirts. There were so many people, they ended up getting two games going. I wanted to play so badly but just couldn't. I was way too sick. Allan played though & had a great catch before someone took out his knee. He's still pretty sore from it and has a nice bruise to prove it. I can't wait to see the highlight film.

After the Turkey Bowl we went to my aunt Corinne's house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was absolutely delicious! There were all the traditional Thanksgiving foods & my aunt's AMAZING homemade rolls. Allan was especially excited about those. We then played games & watched the newer version of Miracle on 34th Street.

I'm so grateful for Thanksgiving. I'm sad that it's getting lost in all the commercialism of Christmas. How wonderful it is to have a day set aside to give thanks for all that we have. While the article that the link leads to is just a bit long, I ask you to read it. It is so worth it! It's amazing. Lincoln is my favorite president. After reading that, I respect him even more. I love how religious he is. I mean, this country was built on religion! And I'm thankful for it! :)
