Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl

Football, Food, Fellowship, and Fun!
Turkey Bowl 2009
Midway Girl's Football Team!! We won 1st place!!


This was the first year I celebrated Thanksgiving without my immediate family and without the Nguyen Thanksgiving feast. The holiday season is different when you're living in an area of perpetual sun and 70 degree weather. I can no longer relate to songs like "White Christmas" or "Walking in a Winter Wonderland". Nonetheless, the wonderful summerland weather here provided the perfect temperature for the 2nd Annual Turkey Football Bowl! Four teams from four churches competed for the title of Turkey Bowl Champions. As you saw in the picture above, Midway girls won!

Coach Hieu made a fantastic video of our team on game day. Enjoy!


Hanh, our make up artist is making us look fierce with that black eye liner

Our team then attempted to make fierce poses to go along with the make up

The last time I played football was at last year's Thanksgiving at my parent's house. From what I remember, we tied and I almost got a black eye from running into my fellow teammate. I'm glad it wasn't repeated at this year's game! The girls on the Midway team were talented players and I'm so glad to have been apart of it all. Congratulations ladies and Midway COACHES (Richard, Hieu, and Anthony)!!

Thank you to ALL the football teams who came out and donated canned foods and toys for Isaiah house and the Orangewood Children's home. Great game and I hope to see you next year!
