Four Thanksgivings

Dave says: This past week we had four turkey dinners. It all started when Alisha saw 18 lbs. turkeys for only $8 at Smiths. We didn't even know how to cook a turkey but we got a turkey bag, put it in the oven for a couple hours, and had a pretty delicious meal with lots of leftovers.

On Thanksgiving we woke up ready to go on a long bike ride only to discover that it was raining outside. Instead, we watched the Macy's Day Parade and rode the indoor trainer for three hours. Then, it was time to head over to Richard and Britney's for Thanksgiving dinner number two where we enjoyed a variety of tasty dishes and desserts.

Then, we went to the movie theater to see Twilight. Alisha has been reading the series over the past couple months and I've been pretty skeptical of "vampire romance." However, I gotta admit that I enjoyed the show, perhaps even enough to read the book sometime in the future.

Alisha had to work the day after Thanksgiving and I got to spend a day catching up on homework and working on my big human rights paper for international law. We headed down in the evening and stayed at the newly remodeled Bezanson family house (nice countertops!) with the entire family.

On Saturday it was time for Thanksgiving number three with Debbie's delicious cooking. Then it was time for some sweet mountain biking with Brian on the rocky trails at Three Peaks while Alisha, Debbie, Amber, Mandy, and Shane made some good looking ginger bread houses.

We went to church with my family on Sunday morning. Then it was time for Thanksgiving dinner number four with my family and grandparents. Finally, it was time to head home on a jam-packed road. It was a quick trip but a great holiday weekend where we got to spend some quality time with both our families and remember all the things that we are grateful for.
