Thanksgiving Dinner

(Not really ours, it just looks nice!)

Thanksgiving Traditions

Each year, we have a little tradition we do. Each place setting has a sheet of paper with one of our names on it. When you sit down at the table, you check to see whose name you have, and after we all eat, we go around the table saying why we are thankful for that person.

After dinner…

This is pretty much what everyone looks like after eating!

Turkey Bowl!

Turkey Bowl

The Friday after Thanksgiving is a very important day for my family. We have our annual Turkey Bowl. Usually the teams are the same every year, and we are very competitive. Thankfully, there haven’t been any hospital visits…yet.

Whirlyball: The New Sport Fad

What is Whirlyball?

I had never heard of Whirlyball until I was forced to play it. It is a game played in bumper cars. Two teams have to score on a basketball type goal using a lacrosse racket to sling a whiffle ball onto the target on the goal.

Confused?Here are some pictures…
