Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! 

We started it off the Sunday before with a dinner at Marc and Betty's (John's parents) because they headed out of town to visit family in Texas.  They were nice enough to invite all my family to join us. 

The night before Thanksgiving we made a bed in our living room, built a fire, drank hot chocolate, and put on a movie.  It was fun and cozy and we both surprisingly slept well on the floor.


We woke up Thanksgiving morning and headed up to the Turkey Trot with Rich and Misty.  This is one of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions because I always feel like I can eat more throughout the day :)  Because I am pregnant I wasn't able to run this year, so John and Misty were nice enough to walk with me. 

 Rich ran and did great!  He registered too late and the race was full, but he ran it anyway.  We think he took about 9th overall.

 These next two pictures crack me up...
John is trying to be sneaky and decide which bagel he wants to take
 He got one!  And he knows I caught him in the act :)

John couldn't help but look through all the adds and see if there were any deals worth going shopping on Black Friday for....luckily there weren't. 

We headed up to our church building around 12:30 to help finish the Thanksgiving dinner prep.

Annie and Jeannette

We ate a great dinner and then played games and visited afterwards.  John and I later when home and took a nap and then headed out to the Bowen's to eat leftovers and play more games.

Unfortunately I didn't take any more pictures the rest of the weekend.  We did some shopping, games and dinner at the Cowden's, lunch with Aunt Claudia and Uncle Bruce, Lucy's blessing, got a few house projects done, and just relaxed.

  2. Wow - I'm surprised the Turkey Trot still went on with it being so cold. I like the cozy bed by the fire. That looks awesome. :)
