So, we had a very successful Thanksgiving day here in Denver! Since I am about to pop, we can't really travel, so we decided to have Thanksgiving here at our house with a few good friends that we have met here in Denver. We had Chris and Anna Gordon- a couple from our ward- Brian, Jami, Brinely and Matt McDonald- Brian goes to school with Cole- and a few of the missionaries over and it was SO much fun! The biggest news to report though is that I COOKED THE TURKEY! Yes, I know all of you think that it is way easy, and hard to mess up, but I was very nervous. I have never cooked a turkey before, so I was kind of worked up about how it was going to turn out. I mean, the turkey IS Thanksgiving! How would it be if I messed up so bad we couldn't eat it! I am reminded of the show "Christmas Vacation" where they are having Christmas dinner and someone says "Wow, if this turkey tastes half as good as it looks, we're in for a REAL treat!" They then proceed to cut the turkey, and it poofs into oblivion with nothing inside! So I was a little bit nervous, but it all worked out GREAT!
After dinner while the kids napped, we played a MAD game of Settlers of Cataan- Cole and I had never played, so it was interesting for us to learn! I might add that I was in SECOND place! I would have won, but Jami stole the game the turn before mine! Good game Jami!
It was a VERY fun day, and we have much to be thankful for. Now that thanksgiving is done (Bummer-we love this holiday!), we can focus on this little baby coming in ONE WEEK! YEAH! I can hardly believe that it is here, yet I have been up since 4:30 because of the little kickboxer!
We hope that you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving, and that you had much to be thankful for. We know that we did!
Here's the ONLY belly shot you are going to get! I don't like to take pictures of myself-especially 9 months pregnant! But Anna is pregnant too- you can't even TELL! She is like 6 months along- so I blow her out of the water with the belly size!
The whole gang after we ate! And BOY did we eat!

OH MY GOSH!!! CONGRATS! I had no idea you were pregnant again, how fun for you! (Having another baby I mean, not being prego.) Is it a boy or a girl? Lincoln is SO darling, I think he and Jack look like they could be bros with their sweet blond hair and blues eyes. Good to hear fom you!
Mind--
You look WONDERFUL! Hooray for less than a week to go! Can hardly wait to meet the little bambino!
Dang you look good Mindy! Can't wait to see what the little guy looks like! GOOD LUCK!
I'm very impressed that the turkey turned out. I admit that is one of my biggest fears for a future Thanksgiving (fortunately I've been able to avoid it so far!)
You look fantastic!!! But I have to ask...
If you're so worried about your size, why are you wearing horizontal stripes? although I think it's a way cute sweater!
good job on not ruining Thanksgiving!!! Did you have your baby yet?!?!?!
I'm glad you finally posted a preggo picture! You are adorable! Look at that cute belly. BTW--we love Settlers! I'm glad you have been introduced.
