M & M Dahle Family: Thanksgiving

November 28, 2007

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving my family and Mark's family all got together at my parent's house. I had a set of grandparents there and two of Mark's cousins came from Provo to join us. It's so nice having our families so close. While we were all together we had a family picture on the Dahle side. We were all there except Mark's brother Karl who is on a mission. The day after Thanksgiving we played around in the church gym. I wasn't feeling too well, but everyone else had fun playing all kinds of games. Line tag, Dodge ball, Bump, Lightning, Around the World... Between all the games we enjoyed Thanksgiving part 2. The yummiest part of Thanksgiving was homemade ice cream and my grandma's chocolate cake with Brazilian chocolate. Not too traditional but oh my yummy goodness!! Too bad neither of those tasty treats made it to Thanksgiving part 2.

That is just so cool. And I love the orange shirts! Is that still your favorite color? (Or am I making that up?); November 29, 2007 at 8:20 AM
Anonymous said...: Looks like you guys had so much fun! I have to agree with you, it's so nice to be around family. (Added bonus that you don't have to cook an entire Thanksgiving meal!) Your family picture is super cute.; November 29, 2007 at 12:16 PM
Monette and Mark said...: Orange is Mark's all time favorite color. No competition. His high school colors were orange and black. Orange has become a part of my life.; November 29, 2007 at 6:03 PM

Out of the Mouth of Babes

April '10

Lexi wanted me to trace her foot on one of those magnetic drawing boards. So I traced her foot but didn't go between all the toes and when I was done I said, "There, how's that," Disappointed she said, "Uh, not so good. " And put her hand down to be traced instead.

Usually when we go out as a family to eat we go to Arctic Circle. They have a fun kid's play zone there. One night we all went out to eat at Chilli's. We were all happily eating our food and Mark leaned over to Isaac and said, "This is fun isn't it?" Lexi disagreed, "There's no slide here," and took another bite.

It was REALLY windy one day and I heard a thump outside. The wind had knocked over the garbage can and I told Lexi what happened. Her response, "Not a good choice, wind!!" with her finger up in the air.

Lexi was laying on my lap. When I asked if she was tired she said,"I'm going to sleep here." I tickled her a little and she said, "Don't tickle me. I'm not laughing." A few seconds later... "Tickle me!"

Mark was getting Lexi a drink and requested one of Isaac's sippy cups. Mark asked why she wanted that one and she replied, "'cause I'm silly"

We got a blue Hawaiian Punch that Lexi had never had before. She took a sip of it, looked at her cup and said, "Mmm that good! I feel better!"
