Thanksgiving day was pretty great. Jeff started off the day playing in the Turkey bowl - realizing later that day that he is too old to be playing football. :) Should stick to watching. I went to the church with the kids to play volleyball with women from around the stake. We play 2x's a week (rotating in/out of the nursery) and it was nice to play on a day when we could leave our kids with hubbies (Jeff came to pick ours up after he played). It was a lot of fun and we actually got more of a workout playing 6 on 6 than 3 on 3. Those that came were the same that came during weeks past and it was a great time. We'd finish a game and look around - one more game? Sure! We finally had to leave because a family was needing the church for their dinner. We agreed to come back later that night to work off our turkey lbs. :)
We spent the day relaxing, not worrying about being somewhere else on time, ate when we wanted and in our pj's. :) I'm pretty sure all Risenmays will be in shock and we'll probably be banned from Idaho forever, but no spuds for us. I bought a bag with the intention of making mashed potatoes, but forgot and everything else was ready and we were hungry. Yes I'm sure there are many ways to quickly fix potatoes - as I'm no potato chef - it was easiest to not have them. :) Our spread:
After dinner we enjoyed a nice walk in the rain. The kids enjoying jumping in the "puddles". AZ "puddles" are merely damp spots on the sidewalk that had not dried up yet. :) No visible water ever left the ground when they jumped in the "puddles".
He's actually mid-air - check out his vertical! :)
Left: Kids running along the path behind our house - see any "puddles"?
Right: view towards the mountains - Jeff ordered the cloudy weather for the holidays. This is close to the view from our backyard. We have a more direct view of the haystack.
By the time we finished our walk, the rain started coming down and we were wet and the ground was actually slippery from the mud on the sidewalk. Lea slipped once and Lucas "slipped" several times - he sat down on the ground, laughed and did it again. :) The kid keeps himself entertained by his own humor. :o)
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Looks like a great Thanksgiving! I could totally see a puddle. Fun! Chris played in a turkey bowl too and also realized he was old and it hurt!
Sounds like you guys had a great thanksgiving. As much as I love family sometimes it's nice just to spend the holiday with your little family. I love all the pictures especially the one of Lucas jumping that is hilarious and so him.
