Dinner With A Democrat

Family of The Year Award Night
Thanksgiving Dinner

Dawn told me I should blog about our dinner and title it Dinner With A Democrat. We were so lucky this year to get one of my best friends to come to dinner with us. Her children live away and her husband has a tradition of going to Las Vegas with his Dad. Last year I was slow in asking her and she went to our other friend's house, but not this year. I was quick to ask her before Mary could. (Ha Ha Mary). Our boys just love her. They fought while we were setting the place cards for seating assignments as to who got to sit by her. Britton won, since it is his last year before his mission. Colton was willing to let me sit on the kid table so he could sit next to her. I won that battle.


Our day started by the annual FATB. (Firth Annual Turkey Bowl football game held at Andrea's) It was fun, Anders didn't know what to think of everyone tackling his dad. (I know, it is supposed to be flag football) This year we actually wore flags and the first flag out was almost Jessica's undies. (Nice by the way). Amy and PJ made it really fun. PJ was really playing under his age group. (good job PJ) It was the first year for Brady and it was great to have him there.


We had 31 people at my moms house for dinner. We ate a lot, and then visited. After dinner, we had our Leg Wrestling Contest. I went first against Colton. He knocked me right over. Then the boys went and played basketball. We watched old family videos. It was a wonderful day.

I wonder if my Democrat friend will come to our fun next year? After all our Republicanistic Views.

I will keep coming as long as there is room at the Firth/Odle family table. It was a great day!

I read all the way to the end holding my breath that you had schooled Colten in the leg wrestling bout. Darn!
