The Miller Memoirs

Thanksgiving with The Miller Family

Bryan's family had thanksgiving a week early, so that everybody could celebrate with both sets of families. We had so much fun! The day was packed with events,...not to mention eating! We were so sad when the day was over, and it was time for us to head home-we wished the festivities could have lasted a bit longer!

Event #1 Wii Tournaments

Event #2 Making Snowflakes
Hailey, Amber, Matt, and Zack had so much fun cutting out snowflakes. Poor Shaura's floor was covered with bits of paper. Although it was a mess, the time it took cleaning up was well worth all the fun!

Event #3 Football
Bryan's family always plays football together on Thanksgiving-this year was no different! In this epic game of football, Bryan hurt his thumb...the doctor said he pulled the tendons, and that it will be back to normal in one year. No worries, uh?

Event #4 Shooting Targets (Nathan and Michelle)
Another tradition for Thanksgiving is going to the desert to shoot at targets.

Event #4 Continued (Jonathan and Tanner shooting)

Event #5 Climbing the Dirt Hill
Hailey, Amber, Matt, and Zack spent hours jumping off the dirt hill, and climbing back up again. Apparently shooting 22 rifles wasn't their idea of fun...they preferred the dirt!

Event #6 Pinata
To cap of the day, all of the kids got a chance to swing at a pinata! It wouldn't feel like a true Miller party without the pinata! (Thank you, Grandma, and thank you, Shaura and Jeff, for hosting the party!)

Event #7 Eating
I guess I was too busy eating to take any pictures.
