We had a great thanksgiving with Brad's Mom and siblings. Of course there was amazing food, game playing, fishing, tree hunting and just hanging out. For journaling purposes:
Thursday- We got up early and did the mini-cassia turkey trot fun-run. It was fun and I was proud of myself for running the whole thing since I kind of quit running a while ago and wasn't sure how it would feel. Brad got to see a lot of old friends from school and it was fun being with some of Brads sisters. After the fun-run the guys went and played some football. Then we went home and helped cook the thanksgiving meal. Of course when Marsha is the cook it is always unbeliveable. She could rival Paula Dean with her home cooking.
Friday- Brad went fishing with his mom and mike most of the morning. He came home bummed because he didn't catch anything but Marsha caught one and Mike caught 4 big trout (getting ready for the fish fry). We hung out most of the day, did a little shopping and then went to visit Brad's Dad and karen that evening.
Saturday- Brad went fishing again and was the only one to catch a fish this morning! I was glad he caught one cuz I knew how badly he wanted to. It was a nice big rainbow trout(about a 4 pounder). Before heading out fishing, Ayden made her dad promise he would catch a rainbow, so of course she was proud of her daddy. I wouldn't touch him until he showered but I will admit I think he looked hot with the fish. After they all got home we went to Lorrie's house for chili and cinnamon rolls and then went up to Pomerelle for some christmas trees. It was fun but it was freezing cold and really foggy. That evening we got together for games and Marsha's fish fry and oh my goodness was it GOOD. This will suprise those of you who know I am NOT a fish eater. Something wierd happened since I became a vegetarian and I actually like fish now. I am sure it did help that it was extrememly fresh (thanks Brad, Mike and Marsha), that it was fried and covered in tarter sauce but oh boy was it yummy. We cooked about 9 pounds of fish which isn't bad for a couple mornings of fishing) We had a fun evening with everyone and said our goodbyes as we were leaving sunday morning.

Looks like a fun thanksgiving! I am not a fan of the snow so I am jealous you went searching for a christmas tree, but not the cold wrapped up in coats part. :) Awesome job on the run or trot?, way to go!
Hooray for 3 girls! I hear ya! When's your due date? Too bad you guys don't live closer. All our little girlies could play. I wish Wade was as excited as you to have another girl! :)
