Thanksgiving 2013

Jer and Brit invited the whole crowd to their house for the FEAST, movies, football and crafts.  Alex upped the entertainment. While Jeremy was carving the turkey, he offered Strider $50, FIFTY BUCKS if he would eat the part that went over the fence last, complete with skin and fat and dripping.

 FIFTY Bucks to Strider... that's a ton of new legos or pockets full of candy. He was all over that.  He thought about it just long enough for Alex to pull out the $50.  With that to look at, Strider did not slow down. He just kept putting it in.  Some of us had a hard time watching and told him he didn't have to do it.

 Others cheered him on.  In the end, or after he ate the end, he got the money and still ate dinner.

We have always had a tradition to crafts with the girls while the boys do football.  Jodi and Michelle came up with painting projects for the kids but we had some issue with the computer and vinyl cutter that even the family computer expert, Don could not fix.  That part was delayed to another day.

This is Jordie who can smell out candy almost as good as Strider.

This is what you do when your tummy is full.  STRETCH out and wait for dessert.

Thanksgiving project postponed but very cute. Jodi and Michelle finished them up for all the sisters, which is just the way they like it.
