Thanksgiving

These are the only actual Thanksgiving day pictures that I got - I was too busy stuffing my face.  Anyway, for the first part of the day we ate a lovely lunch made mostly by my mom at Megan and Jim's house.  Last year when we went to Iowa for Thanksgiving, my mom didn't make my favorite dish, chicken noodles.  So I've given her a hard time ever since.  She almost forgot to make them again this year - she would have never lived it down.  Luckily they were made and I ate lots of them.  After we ate we were lazy and played games and planned out our Black Friday shopping excursion.  I love Black Friday.  I know a lot of people don't, but I think it is so fun.  We only ended up going to Walmart at their midnight sale, because we decided we shouldn't spend any more money.  I did have other things that I really wanted, so you should definitely be proud of me.  Usually when I want something I buy it.  We just got a bunch of $5 and $10 blu-rays and a few little toys for Lincoln. 

Another fun thing we did was go out to Eagle Mountain for Pie Night.  This is a Dow family tradition.  Every year Todd's mother and grandmother make like 20 pies for Thanksgiving.  So, we have to carry it on out here in Utah.  We actually went to my sister-in-law's parent's house to eat and be fat and happy!  We had 16 pies I think.  Some of the ones I remember are coconut cream, cherry, apple, kentucky derby, cinnamon, peanut butter, chocolate, sour cream rhubarb, oatmeal, and pear.  Sorry if I forgot yours!  Anyway the ones that I tried were delicious.  I could only eat 4 pieces!!

Lincoln loved the chocolate pie!  He ate the whole piece and wanted another.  Then he only ate one bite of that piece.  Stinker.

The little boys.  Lincoln loves to play with his cousins.  He talks about them all the time at home.  Here are two of them, Nathan and Alec who are closest in age to Linc.
