Thursday morning, Damon and BJ went to play football with the ward at the annual turkey bowl. After two games of being the designated "rusher," BJ decided to stop showing off his incredible football skills and join the ladies on the homefront to help with the kids and dinner. Damon, on the other hand, stayed for a total of about four hours and was subsequently sore for the remainder of his stay in the Bluegrass region.
One of the many highlights of this weekend was that the two closest cousins, McKay and Camden, born only two days apart, are now somewhat aware of what's going on around them and really met for the first time. We've posted a riveting video of their first interaction with each other.
Dinner was amazing! Lety and Rachel successfully cooked the turkey, BJ successfully mashed the potatoes and Damon successfully limped around the house with a swollen leg. Matt, Sarah, Max, and Sam Lassen joined us for what was a terrific Thanksgiving dinner, after which we watched Get Smart (very funny).
Katasha and Tim joined us on Friday night. Saturday morning, the men held down the fort on the homefront while the ladies went to see Twilight (Rachel's a big fan). When the women returned, we took a drive on some of the beautiful backroads around Lexington. Katasha and Tim were nice enough to take some amazing pictures of our family (sadly enough, our first nice family picture since McKay has been with us). All in all, we had a wonderful weekend filled with family, food, and fun.
The two cousins (and a great shot of BJ's double chin).
Yay for our new family photo! Isn't McKay such a cute little guy?

I love your new family pictures. Pretty much the prettiest family ever. :)
So don't worry that Kip and Bridgett Nelson (Kip was in Singers with you, I believe) are in my ward here. Totally normal.
I was very happy to have bragging rights on knowing you the longest. I win! ;)
Happy Holidays! Excited to see you at Christmas!
