Thanksgiving 2007

"Give Thanks"

Tyson and I shared our first Thanksgiving! We had a great time. The celebration started the Sunday before Thanksgiving with MY family. We met at Tio Eric's house and had a great thanksgiving dinner - we even ran out of Grandmas famous potatoes :) After a fantastic meal we danced (of course) and we also exchanged the cousin Christmas present. A lot of my family is going to Nicaragua for Christmas, so we decided to celebrate Christmas early. We had a HUGE table that was set with nice china and decorations. We had a great time. Tyson and I got two new movies - Hitch and Saraha. Thanks everyone

On Thanksgiving Day, Tyson met up with my brothers, cousins and some friends for an good -old' Turkey Bowl. They started our as touch football, but by the end, it was all tackel!

From the football game Ty and I headed up to Logan. We arrived just in time for Thanksgiving dinner (At noon). We had Grandma and Grandpa Gerber with us. We ate turkey and Debbie made the BEST yams! I do not like yams but I was in love with hers!





After dinner we watched "The Ultimate Gift" and talked about what we are grateful for. We talked about the freedoms we shared, the little luxuries; ie warm water, clean water, fresh milk, religious freedom, warm clothes, health - it was really neat to listen to all of our little thank you's.


The next day, we slept in, fixed some apartments, delivered pizza and sent off present to a soldier in Iraq. It was a great day.
Saturday, Tyson rounded some of his buddies and played football again, but this time he really hurt his shoulder :( He had to be in a sling all weekend but is recovering well.
Needless to say, Thanksgiving was fantastic. We are so blessed to have wonderful families and wonderful friends. To all the people in our lives, we say Thank You, for being you. Here's to a fantastic Holiday season.
