a very hillier thanksgiving

thanksgiving morning, honey woke up early while baby girl and i slept in.  until around ten when honey ran home to shower and i got baby girl and myself ready in record time before heading over to the in-laws.  

breakfast was served!  we had a delicious spread of eggs, sausage, yogurt and granola, hash browns  cinnamon rolls, orange julius, and at least one or two more things that i'm probably forgetting.  the missionaries joined us for breakfast and after we were all done eating, my father in law had us all gather in the living room for a concert.  one of the missionaries was a phenomenal pianist so he played a number of things for us before turning the time over to anyone else in the room that could play.  after some valiant attempts at greatness from some of our own, we finished up singing a hymn around the piano.  my father in law is one of the funniest people i know, but he's one of those people that has no idea he's so hilarious.  take this for example...

he asked the missionary to play this hymn so we could all sing and then he kept telling him he needed to play it louder/with more emphasis/give it a real punch/etc.  and then he kept telling us that we needed to sing it with more energy and special emphasis on that one part.  my mother in law and i were laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes... hers more from embarrassment but whatever.  come join the hillier thanksgiving, where we sing hymns like fight songs.

after dinner we all hung out and then some more people came over and we all played this fast racing dice turkey game.  oh, and we ate pie.  lots and lots of pie.  coconut cream for me.
