Thanksgiving 2009

Most years on Thanksgiving morning, Brady and his brothers/brothers-in-law/dad/sometimes cousins go shooting. I've honestly always thought it was ridiculous that they went to shoot plastic bottles filled with water, old computer monitors, and paper targets taped to cardboard. During this past year, Brady has really wanted me to go shooting with him. I keep making up excuses, but this time I had no excuse. So, I went with them. And, I'll be honest, it was kinda fun (at least to shoot the little stuff...I'm not a fan of the big ammo).


After shooting, we went to Brady's mom and dad's house for Thanksgiving. It was so yummy!

After hanging out with Brady's family, we went to see my family. Some of my extended family had Thanksgiving at my mom and dad's. Everyone got into Beatles RockBand.



I love this time of year. I'm grateful for so many things: Brady, our families, the gospel, our house, good jobs, good friends...the list could go on.

I had a really great time hanging out with you guys on Thanksgiving. I'm glad that we got to spend so much time together. I had fun shooting too. I still think it was hilarious when you shot that really big one of Tony's...sorry I took so many pictures of that one. I thought it was just so funny! I hope you don't mind if I use the family picture around the table for my picture of the day, it's a very good picture. I'm grateful for you guys. I wish you lived a little closer so we could hang out spontaneously more often.
Love you guys!
