Traditions!

Lets pretend for a minute that it's Thanksgiving...maybe in the year 2010. If it were, this is what you'd find the Larsens doing:

Firth Family Turkey Bowl

This event is typically held at 9 AM Thanksgiving morning in front of my parent's house, no matter what the weather is like. Of course, typically, there's not snow and frigid temperatures. This year, the event was held at 10AM...still just as fun! Okay, lets be honest, I don't participate. I'd say my husband and kids make up for me being on the sidelines (or in the house, drinking hot chocolate and watching the parade on TV). I am a big-time whimp when it comes to cold temperatures and trying to understand the crash-course of football lessons my husband tries to give me right before. In my defense, I always come dressed to participate, I just seem to make my way inside after I take a couple of pictures. They have recently incorperated the flags. Takes all the fun out if you ask me. If I can't tackle, I'm not playing! :)

First game injury! Christian's and Anders' team was in a huddle and Christian tripped over Anders (who was standing right behind him) after the huddle broke. This is Christian trying to pull him off the field so they can continue the game...so considerate.

The Fabulous Thanksgiving Dinner

Those that are lucky enough to have sampled some of the fabulous cuisine prepared by my Grandma and Grandpa Speirs know why we would look forward to Thanksgiving so much. They absolutely spoil us at the dinner table. Our favorite part? They do it all and it is the most fabulous meal anyone could ask for. However, Anders and I did prepare the pilgrim hat place cards.

Thanksgiving Movie

After the grand Thanksgiving naps and we've changed in to our comfy pants, we all head to the movie theater to watch the latest Christmas movie just released. This year, we tried something a little different and watched the latest Disney movie instead. A big thanks to Grandma Larsen for wanting some "Diva time" so that I could finally enjoy a movie from the great theater seats (even if they were in the front) and not from the lobby. I can't wait to buy this movie because I know Eva will just love it!
