Thanksgiving 2012

This year it was at my Brother Jeff's in Valencia, CA.  I was feeling a great deal of gratitude for my family this year.  It is never a dull moment when we all get together and the cousins never tire of just hanging out.  This years party included my brothers new fiance Jen, the hot tub, lots of Long Boarding, an overly physical soccer game, lots of food, lots of pie, a few tears from tired kids, a few movies (Twilight and James Bond), the X-Box, Capture the flag (in Jeff's house), one broken down van (poor Bailey's), and a dinner out to New Moon. 
The Dessert Table, we are always good at this one.  
The White Team stretching.  This was serious business.  Don't ask what I am doing, I am really not sure.

The soccer game mostly involved large piles of people and many fouls.  I realized early why my brother Jeff chose to ref, rather then play.  
Tom took no mercy on anyone, including me.  I will spare you of photos of my many shin bruises from the love of my life. 
The little kids soccer game that mostly ended up in tears. 
The long boards, these were a hit this year. 
The rugrat neighborhood kids.  Oh wait, that is Andrew and Connor. 
My brother entertained the kids in the hot tub with Simon Says, losers had to jump in the pool. 
The cooks.
Lots of Football.
Good and exhausting times with the Scholz's.  Sorry Jeff if we brought down the property value of your home.

I don't think Brad and I could have kept up with all of you! Glad you enjoyed a great time!
