We started off our Turkey day with what is becoming a Turkey Day tradition for our little family...a 5k. This year's was The Turkey Trot up on the East Side. Besides being a little chilly, it was perfect weather. Corey manned the stroller, while Asher and I ran together (at my very slow pace as this is basically my one run a year, don't judge). My little running buddy did awesome! He was getting a little discouraged near the end but pulled through and finished like a champ. He came home with his ribbon, which was all he really wanted out of the morning. Corey's parents joined us too and we cheered them on as they finished. A great start to a great day. Funny thing: every year afterwards, Corey is hungry and wants a breakfast burrito or something really yummy, but alas, on Thanksgiving morning, they are nowhere to be found. He gets so sad. Then we go home for cocoa with lots of whip cream.
Aaron and Meagan hosted Thanksgiving dinner this year and with all the great food everyone helped with it was delicious and fun. The cousins had a riot running around playing, as always. They're such cute buddies.
Black Friday arrived in all it's insane glory, and we slept in (sort of) and stayed home as usual. Adam and Kayla were generous enough to snag us a couple of items in their brave wee-hours shopping. Wasn't that nice? We did get a new tree this year because we had given away our gigantic one when we almost moved a few months back...it was really too big anyway and such a pain to store. Up went to new tree and we all enjoyed going through all the ornaments and decorating it. Such a great weekend and so nice to spend time with family. We are thankful for them all! Happy Thanksgiving!
