Thanksgiving

For the Jurgensmeier Christmas Party this year, my parents were in charge so Mom asked Bryce and I to come up with something fun to do at the party. We decided on life size angry birds. Since Josh and I just moved into our new place, we had plenty of boxes, so we just had to find some balls, paint them, and then figure out a big slingshot for the bigger balls. I had tons of fun figuring out the different faces and painting the balls. Then Marianne helped me out with the last few in Rupert before Thanksgiving. They ended up being awesome! I was so excited with how they all turned out! 

And of course we had a little fun with the finished products.. 

 We also had to practice and see if they would actually work before the party so we set up a few boxes and also shot them off the deck.

The party was a great success! Josh and I couldn't be there because we were at his Grandpa Green's funeral, so I was so excited to see pictures and video of how it turned out. And everyone said it was awesome. 

Of course, since it was Thanksgiving and all, we had a fabulous Thanksgiving feast, played lots of games, and listened to my Grandma tell stories. We also shot some clay pigeons and set up some sweet targets. It was freeeeeezing cold, but it was really fun. 

Just before we left, we also got to go and see my cousin Kelsey open her mission call! I'm so excited for her and proud of her! She'll be serving in New York. She is going to be an amazing missionary!

She was so so excited when she opened her call and read where she'll be going for 18 months.
