Happy belated Thanksgiving! We had a great weekend! Doug and AJ left for a hockey tournament in Vegas early Wednesday and are due back sometime tomorrow. AJ's team took first place in the Silver Sticks tournament which means they have a spot at a tournament in Michigan in January......yeah AJ! So my mom got in Wednesday night and Thursday morning Mark, Stacie and the kids came over and we cooked away. Stacie was in charge of this traditional yummy gorgonzola broccoli dish we make every year and it was awesome as usual. So it was me, mom, Ali, Ryan,Jack, Mark, Stacie, Taylor, Austyn and Ryleigh. Not as big of a crowd this year with Adam and Jenn going to Jenn's family's dinner this year but they came over late that evening and hung out a bit. It was a great day but I was exhausted by the time it was over! The reason behind me staying home with the other kids was that Ryan had a hockey tournament as well but in Anaheim so that started bright and early Friday...we were out the door by 6:30am! The tournament lasted Friday and Saturday and no Sunday game since his team lost every game but Ryan did great! He got to play forward one game and just amazed everyone except his coach because he was back on defense the very next game....oh well. One of the great things about being married to the director of coaches is that that means that Ryan will probably be playing forward next week after Doug gets home and has a little chat with Ryan's coach. After all the hockey games, my mom and I spent the rest of the weekend baking Christmas cookies which is a family tradition that has been sorta lost since my grandpa died a few years ago. We made so many cookies and had such a great time that I think we will start this back up again. Today McKenzie came over and the kids decorated the sugar cookies. It was so cute to watch and of course I didn't think to pull my camera out so you'll just have to take my word, but here are some shots from Thanksgiving.
