Thanksgiving has always been a busy day.   I have loved the turkey that dad makes always the best.  But I remember the thanksgiving that we spent at mom and dads for the evening and ended up at the Hospital because I was miscarrying.  It was super hard experience but one that I won't forget.  Funny thing was after leaving the ER at 1 am Marshall and I went and stood in line for Black friday shopping at 4am.  Die hard idiots!!

I remember being 14 and having had my pacemaker placed in a few days before thanksgiving (1996).  I came home thanksgiving morning and my room was upstairs.  It sucked because I couldn't leave my bed because I was not allowed.  I remember grandma price gave me a bell to ring if I needed anything.  It smelled so good and the party seemed to be lots of fun.

Thanksgiving Memory

I don't remember what year it was, probably around '05, and the food (particularly the turkey) was a little sub-par that year. Usually I have at least a second plate of turkey but that year it was all I could do to put down a second fork-full of turkey. I remember Britt stepped out and called my mom, whose house we were going to later that day, and asked them to save a plate of turkey for us so we could enjoy it.

My memory of playing games is when we all played Loaded Questions for one of the first times in St George. It had to have been 2006 or '07.  The question asked for something that all of the guys quickly saw as an opportunity to answer in a perverted fashion, to which we all obliged. It was funnier and funnier each time you realized that someone answered the same as you. But I remember really losing it when we realized that one of the girls (Lindsey) also answered the same way. We couldn't believe that any of the girls we as bad as us!

We have enjoyed the tradition of Dad making the most tasty and moist turkey every year as far back as I can remember. We can all thank Grandma Stonehocker for her tips on cooking!  Whether we had Thanksgiving at our house or somewhere in the Price/Marriott destination we can still claim that Dad made the turkey, except for two years.

My memories of the last 3 Thanksgivings were of Haley sitting in my bedroom and sometime during the day Izaiah, Indie and Libby would climb up on the bed with her and play on the IPad. We have a picture with her sitting in the big green back chair with her feeding tube pole hooked up and the children sitting in her lap. Last year I think she feasted in Heaven and slipped in some family time too.

Most evenings after feasting, the family would gather round the family room and sift through the newspaper and plan shopping excursions if they were brave and crazy enough to shop on Black Friday. Sometimes we would go to watch a movie. I cant ever remember any movies in particular but I enjoy the time we spent talking, planning  and going together. I love the laughter and good humor that seems to be present whenever all the children are all together.

Thanksgiving story- All growing up I only liked the brown gravy that mom made for mashed potatoes on sundays.  This meant that the gravy they made on thanksgiving was a white turkey gravy.  I was too picky to try it, so I would eat my turkey (along with pretty much anything else i would eat) with bullseye barbacue sauce.

Dad and I began playing Gin Rummy when we were first married. I always liked playing word games like Boggle and Scrabble. Scattegories came next. We played card games with the kids  it seems like every Sunday night. It was a good way to spend the Sabbath and promote family unity. When Haley and Ian came along we had to find games that could appeal to the younger two. We played "Smurf on your neighbor" and "7 Eleven".

 Later,"The Great Dalmuti" was introduced to us by our neighbors, that calls for a King who is the Great Dalmuti and during their round in the Kings seat they get to pronounce some commands such as, whenever you play a 5 the boys have to do a 'Disco Dance' or sing, 'I am a Little Teapot". I find it interesting that a couple of the boys really enjoyed heckling and singing and trying to disrupt and irritate the girls sometimes...the girls were more serious players and hated waiting for their brothers to finally make a play in a hand. 

One of my favorite memories is when Eldon, Haley, Ian and I were playing a dice game that as you rolled them you ha to create words out of the pictures that were posted on a particular side of the die. Once Eldon rolled a stomach and dance and he came up with the word Belly dance. In that round he had to demonstrate what that was. So he grabbed his belly and jiggled it up and down. I will never forget how hard the kids laughed because obviously dad didn't know how to properly do a belly dance at all.
