We got up this morning and went over to the church and did our 1st Annual Freeman Family Fitness Face-Off Challenge. We played a game where you draw cards and you have to do the exercise associated with the suit you draw and the number is how many repetitions of that exercise that you have to do. The game is played for 10 minutes at a time. So we started off by doing some stretching exercises. Then we had a wall sit competition—Katelyn won that one. Then we had the fitness challenge with the cards. We did it a couple of times, and Megan won that one! She had the most reps of all of us! After we played Pickle Ball until about 11am and then I had to go home and get things in the oven and get showered and ready. What a FUN morning!!! Good way to burn some calories before eating our big Thanksgiving Feast! Then we went over to Grandma’s house where the guys had a competition to see who could peel the most potatoes the fastest. Todd, Corbin, Scott and Tim (Tiffany’s new husband from Idaho!) all participated in the competition! Well, Megan had just given me my Christmas present, which just happened to be one of those apple/potato peelers/slicers/corers. This gift was PERFECT because it really helped us to get the Yam and Apple casserole and apple pie sliced and prepped faster! So we showed up to this competition with this peeler and EVERYONE gave us a hard time about it, but they never said what KIND of peeler was allowed! So Todd won the first annual potato peeling contest! We got a bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups and a Mrs. Potato head for the trophy! Todd signed it with the year and it will be passed around from year to year! Hahaha! Lots of new, great traditions! Dinner was so yummy and tasted so good! As always! We enjoyed two phone calls from Brooke—she was allowed to call for an hour, so we got to talk a little before our dinner, and then after during Katelyn's guitar concert, so she could hear that! Brooke said the blessing on our Thanksgiving Feast over the phone in Karen! It was so COOL to hear her pray in that beautiful language! Later, we got to enjoy Katelyn’s little guitar concert together which was so much FUN!! She is improving so much and writing such fun music! Everyone there really enjoyed the concert! It was fun to just sit and visit—especially as there weren’t as many football games this year—due to Covid! We played games and had a fun night. There is SO MUCH to be grateful for this year! I am mostly grateful for my amazing and fun family, but also for the gospel and ALL of the blessings associated with it! I am truly blessed!!! #givethanks
