thanksgiving

November 28, 2008

our neighborhood turkey bowl is one of our newest-favorite family traditions for Thanksgiving… this is the 2nd year we gathered at our neighborhoods large lawn and played football. every age plays. It was such a beautiful day for football!

sela – a little unsure of what to do
Kiana & Elle playing catch…trying to play catch, i should say…

the game…
there were a few rules
1. no adult could interfere with a childs attempt at catching a pass.
2. if an adult caught the ball if thrown to them, they had to run backwards.
{this was particularly difficult for me…}
3.

it has been a girls week, and we’re not stopping yet!

Our neighborhood had bunco tonight,
Cherisa hosted, it was the yummiest food and she has the most adorable
contemporary home I have EVER seen!

don’t ask me what is wrong with my NEW point-n-shoot – here’s the picture…

After bunco I came home for a couple hours and then Kiana and I headed out sporting our twilight tees to the midnight premiere!

I would say that our family has one year-round family activity that we have always enjoyed together.

the movies.

So, we were so thrilled when we saw the sign a few months ago that Cinemark was building new theaters about 6 blocks from our house!
I am always a fan of NEW. clean. shiny. ooh-la-la.
the nice thing is, people don’t realize they’re open yet…
so they’re still a little empty!

last night we went to a late movie “Lakeview Terrace” with our neighbors the Granums. Lets hope no one in our neighborhood ever moves in this psycho!

Then today we went to a matinee with the kids to see “Madagascar 2.”

this was MOVIE weekend…we also went to see Igor.

It was a wee bit too dark for me,
I’m not sure the kids even caught most of the humor.

Lets say, I was happy when Sela’s attention span was done
because she and I left early and went shopping!

We went with the kids and the howell boys to see this movie tonight.

I typically like movies based on true stories,
and it’s the same for this one,
loved it.
