Thanksgiving this year was off the charts amazing! I don't even know why! It was just SO good!! This year we had the dinner in good old Fruit Heights. I have never had Thanksgiving at my house and I was really stoked! This year was spent with the Wright side of the family....always good for a laugh or two! We had an amazing dinner of course, and afterward had an ugly sweater contest, complete with a runway walk to show off the ugly! You should have seen my grandma! Wow can she model a sweater! ha ha it was awesome! After that everyone went out back to play some mean basketball lightning games. And man did it get intense! Unfortunately my basketball skills were kind of lacking, and I never won a game. Surprisingly my dad won a lot! Who knew the old man still had it in him?? And Brother won a lot too! Guess the basketball court is really paying off! They have got some seriously mad skill!! We then gorged ourselves with pie....mm mm, pie! Then comes my favorite part. The Turkey Run! This is one of my favorite family traditions! Its a way to honor the bird by giving him one last flight around the yard. We stuff the carcass of the Turkey on a stick, and line up at intervals all around the yard. You then run the turkey around the yard, passing it from person to person. The last person puts it in its final resting place, a.k.a. the dumpster. Its crazy fun! I know it sounds weird, but hey, my family is weird! And I wouldn't prefer it any other way!!! Everyone kind of split up after that. There was some guitar hero going on. Some serious story telling. Some games, some tv. And then me of course who had to get that "after eating so much I want to die nap" in there. So really nothing too exciting, but tons and tons of fun! By far one of the best Thanksgivings I have ever had!!
