Thanksgiving Day

We had a great Thanksgiving day. There was a lot of good food and a lot of people. As I said in my previous post, we had a family reunion for Thanksgiving. There are eight kids in Eric's family and all of them and their families were there with the exception of Eric's brother and brother in law who were both out of town for work. Eric's parents also have the missionaries living with them so there were four extra grown boys there to help eat the food. :)
We fed the kids first and then sent them to watch a movie while the grown-ups ate. It was a tight fit around the table but it was a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, Aaron didn't get to enjoy his thanksgiving dinner. When we arrived to Texas Aaron got sick and didn't really eat much for days. We think it was from the stress of traveling and lack of sleep. He had a fever for two days and was miserable in an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar people. It basically took him until the end of the trip for him to warm up to some people and eat a decent meal.
We had 18 pies for Thanksgiving. Eric's mom made most of them and his brother Rob made the rest. They were really good and it was great to have pie leftovers for a couple of days.

We all got to go outside and enjoy the weather on Thanksgiving day and play a few games outside. It was hard on me because I am out of shape and couldn't run very much. We still had fun playing kick ball and spud.
