One of the greatest holidays of the year was celebrated recently. The reason it is such a great holiday is because you eat to the point that you are uncomfortable (pants unbuttoned!!), then watch football, then eat pie until you are super uncomfortable (sweatpants anyone?)...brilliant!! This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with Camille's family in Logan. She had cousins, uncles, aunts, parents, grandparents, and a partridge in a pear tree attend the meal. We all cramed into Grandma's dining room and attempted to pass all the goods around the tables. The dishes piled up, and luckily for the men (who were watching football), the women did the clean up.
The drunk that Adam is, got an early start by giving the camera a cheers. Camille thinks he was drinking so much to hide his feelings about being a hunchback (Adam's mom would not be pleased with his posture in this picture!). Don't worry it was that apple juice stuff that comes in a bottle.
The best tradition in Camille's family is choosing the most annoying person in the family and giving them the beats with baseball bats...only kidding. It is actually making homemade ice cream. The first step in the process is crushing the ice, which is where the bats came in handy. Chase, Camille's cousin, helped Adam out by bringing sexy back with a bat.
Before the churning of the ice cream could begin, the grunts who were to churn had to recieve specific instructions from Grandpa. Note: Adam still screwed up the process.
Adam was on the first shift for turning and churning the ice cream. He cranked the handle for almost 20 minutes before someone noticed that he was turning the handle the wrong way, ultimatley doing nothing.
Towards the end of the ice cream being ready, it is so hard that the handle is difficult to turn. So some poor idiot has to stand on the barrel giving the turner some leverage to continue turning the handle. If you cannot tell, Adam is terrified of falling...Chase seems to be finding joy in Adam's terror, while Grandpa thinks we are just two whippersnappers.
Another great tradition of Thanksgiving is Turkey Day football. Adam strapped a helmet on and was ready to play middle linebacker for the BYU Cougars...actually, judging from his facemask, he looks more ready to be a kicker, but let the boy dream!!
After spending the holiday in Logan, we stopped off at Adam's parents' house to help them decorate one of the two or three trees they have in their home. They were so excited to be decorating that Adam is doing the hokey pokey by putting one foot in...while Adam's mom is singing "I am a little teapot...here is my handle." We loved spending time with both our wonderful families and are looking forward to having a great holiday season.

Oh, I laughed out loud, that was a funny post. The Hokey Pokey and Little Teapot- very funny. I like the mini helmet too. Classic Adam.
I new something was afoot with that game when Adam was holding one of the bats. Ice cream story is a classic too. Good post. You guys are hilarious.
