Thansgiving

My family has this tradition of rootbeer tasting. When we all get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas, my dad goes to the Pop Shop in Scottsdale and purchases all different kinds of rootbeer, gingerbeer, and birchbeer. You would not believe just how many kinds there are out there. So, the above pictures are of all of us trying out our tastebuds on one of a kind sodas. My cousin Tammy and her Husband Tyler came down from Oklahoma along with my cousin Jon and his wife Sandi (who I actually knew up at BYU a few years before they even met). I didn't get a picture of Jon and Sandi. Jon Marks grandparents also traveled down from Texas. It was so fun to see everyone. I wish everyone lived closer. We also went to the Christmas lights at the temple. Joshua had a good time seeing all of the different colors. All he wanted to do was walk, he does not like being in his stroller. So, Thanksgiving was great. My only regret (and Michelle and Jessica will likely feel my pain) was that there was NO GIRL FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!! I wanted to play so bad, but without my sister inlaws here to threaten the boys along with me, it didn't happen. DO YOU FEEL MY PAIN????? Why is it that it's a given that boys will play football on Thanksgiving.... but then the girls are left to beg for their chance to play later. It's okay that they don't want
me to play in their "manly" game, all I ask is that they save some energy for some girly football for later on in the day. Is that too much to ask? Jessica? Michelle? Do you you feel me?
