The morning always starts with The Turkey Trot for me. It's normally a 5 mile run, but this year they had a 2 miler and that was PERFECT for my prego belly. It was definitely a walk/trot run for me. I still won a pumpkin pie which made it all worth it. :) Thanks Amber for going slow with me!! It's much more fun to run with a friend. And I know it was a sacrifice for her to contain her competitiveness in races!
The "BOYS" always start the day with the Turkey Bowl. Taylor looks forward to this activity all year long -- it was great weather and great competition this year. He was well pleased!
Then we got ready and went to a Thanksgiving Feast with our friends the Dehners. Mike's parent live just a few minutes away, and so we got to eat with a big family, in a nice big house, yummy homemade food, and the kids LOVED playing with uncle Chaddy (as they call Mike's brother-in-law). What else do you need on Thanksgiving?.....
Gingerbread houses!
Mike's mom Shawn (pictured above) bought all the kids gingerbread house kits and the kids (and me) REALLY enjoyed decorating them. Luke mostly just enjoyed eating the candies but hey it's thanksgiving and that is definitely what HE is thankful for.
The night was topped off with a fun movie at the theatre to REALLY tire the kids out. If only little Morgan wouldn't have gotten the stomach flu it would have been a success for all families involved that day! (but, luckily NO one else got it). Happy Thanksgiving to you ALL!!
