This year, Thanksgiving morning we got up early and headed out to East Mesa for the Annual 10K Turkey Trot run. My hubby graciously agreed to run with me after my sister-in-law was sidelined with shin splints. Although we barely saw each other during the run, it was still nice to do something like this together. {and just for the record, Jesse totally smoked me~ by lets say about 5 minutes?} My in-laws also came and entertained the children during the run= our saving grace! Lessons learned: definitely stop at the first water stop...I always need water; prepare for the run by, well, running; run outside more, not just on the treadmill; work on running different speeds: fast and slow; and finally sign up for another one to keep self motivated!
After getting washed up and ready, we headed over for the Sheffield Thanksgiving dinner. So yummy that I didn't even stop to take a single picture, darn it. After stuffing face, we headed to the movie theater and saw the new Disney movie "Tangled". And finally we capped off the night at the Toronto's where we gorged once again on like 10 different kinds of pie. Seriously good stuff. My faves this year would have to be the Banana Cream Pie and the Coconut Cream Pie {did I mention I like cream?!} Eli's fave was the Chocolate Cream and the Coconut Cream Pie. He was hilarious. He sat on Papa's lap and would loudly proclaim: "more more more pease". Poor Maddie was so sick she just layed on the couch most of the day and never even had a single bit of pie :(
Now that Thanksgiving is officially over, we are full force into the Christmas Spirit, with Christmas music to be heard at all hours of the day, lights & decorations put up, cards ordered and expected any day in the mail, Xmas lists all prepared by the kids, and preparations underway for neighbor Goody plates; now all we need is a beautiful fresh Christmas tree to be purchased and decorated :)
