Thanksgiving 2010

We had Thanksgiving with the Excell Family this year. It was a really fun weekend. We had way too much food. I heard the average Thanksgiving dinner contains 4000 calories! YUM! We also went to the movies, shopping, Temple lights, Turkey shoot, playing in the snow, and we played a game that rhymes with "Mexas told em'. We loved every minute.

The whole family at the Temple lights

Dashing through the snow in a 50 horse power open sleigh!
Caleb pulling the pigeons.
Ben has the strangest stance. I wonder if that's why he hasn't won the past two years. He is the only one that shoots a shot gun more then once a year.
I am just no good at shot guns. I only hit 2 out of 5 of my pigeons.
HO HO HO! No crying kids for Santa? It's a Christmas miracle.
The Manger scene at the Temple. That glowing orb is the baby Jesus.
Caleb was fixed on the lights
Thanks to all our family for a wonderful time! Love you guys and can't wait to get together again.

Need I remind you how many pigeons I hit? I'm so glad you got one this year! It was fun to spend a week with you guys.

Laura, Ben's stance is very professional and I know I would be happy if he had my "six." Give him a break! Oh, the photos are great and I am puffed up with pride over this wonderful family.
