Thanksgiving 2023

 We had a fantastic time with the Randall family this year for Thanksgiving! We met at Grandma's and Grandpa's new house, ate yummy food, played football, did puzzles, sorted Christmas decoration, and loved being together as a family.

Dinner, as always, was wonderful. We brought rolls, stuffing, and sweet potatoes. We also brought rolls and mashed potatoes for Kate and her allergies. Most of us aren't big fans of turkey (Greg does love it!) and we are here for the sides and pie, Thanksgiving dinner never disappoints.

Guard threw out the idea of doing a Turkey Bowl this year. I wasn't sure how people would respond, but most everyone participated. Grandma, Kate, Dave, and I were the cheering section and sport photographer and everyone else played. I was actually impressed with the plays called, runs made, and ball caught during the 30 minute game. Everyone was a winner and had a great time!

Reformation Day

This year we were a few weeks late celebrating Reformation Day, but it means a lot to our family, so I still wanted to make it happen. We had our traditional dinner of brats, German potato salad, roasted brussel sprouts, and applesauce. We all love this meal and the kids are great at helping to prepare it.

We also wrote our committments for the year and 'nailed' them to the door, just like Martin Luther did. Each time we walk into the garage, we are reminded of our goals.
