Thanksgiving was such a fun time for our family. Mike went and played in the annual Turkey Bowl after squeezing in to his old high school football jersey.
He looked so cute, but came home muddy and pretty sore. I kept telling him he was getting old, but he didn't believe me! We also had a wonderful surprise when we found out that Jordan would be able to come home and celebrate with us! He hasn't been home for Thanksgiving since 2004 and so it was wonderful having him here!
Kendal, Taylor and Tay's girlfriend Mercedes were all able to make it too and so did my brother Christian!!!!
It's probably been 20 years since I've celebrated a holiday with him, so that was the icing on the cake!!! Jim and Betsey were able to be there also, which is always fun for everyone to see them.
We ate a ton thanks to Lisa, Marilyn and of course Randy's skill at slicing Turkey (Thanks guys),
We also played games,
Some of us took naps,
and then we made a Thanksgiving Tree, which was a first for the Mantzke clan and will hopefully become a new tradition!
It turned out great and helped us focus on what being thankful is all about! It was a wonderful Thanksgiving day, though Derrek was sorely missed, we look even more forward to Christmas!
