Those two things aren’t related in any way, but it sounded fun. In November I went down to celebrate Sarin’s big 30th birthday and I hitched a ride on this cute stud’s motorcycle. He just drove me from his house to Allie’s, but still-wild ride!

The last time I was on a motorcycle was 24 years ago with a guy I was dating who was, come to think of it, about Reagan’s age. It was really weird to be on one with my kid! Reagan was a very responsible and safe driver and even bought this awesome pink helmet so girls wouldn’t have to go without when he gives em a ride. Which is good, cause when I was on the motorcycle in college, I didn’t have a helmet! Shhh. Don’t tell my children.

We had a great Thanksgiving. We had Cam and Allie this year, so that means…. Smoked Turkey!!!! Thanks again Cam for the delicious turkey. Here are the highlights from the day.
Our day started with two bald men in a kitchen…




Sarin also made a French silk pie for the first time in her life, (for those who missed it, that life is 30 years long now) and that’s just a little embarrassing, so we’re not going to put a picture in. 😉




For dessert we had almost as much food as we did for dinner! 6 pies plus 3 other delicious desserts! It was ridiculous!
We missed Cade, but got to talk to him on the phone. The people who fed him dinner asked for food they liked from home and he said Jello Fluff. So she made this for dinner:

On Black Friday while the girls went shopping, the boys went shooting. Levi was in heaven. Once again, Cam’s expertise was a blessing. After shooting clay pigeons, they shot up some old computers, because why not?



We had so much to be thankful for this year!
