Decorations

I love walking by the top of the stairs and being able to see this glittering tree.  After nearly 8 years of marriage, we finally bit the bullet and bought an full size expensive tree.  I love it.

Thanksgiving 2014

Thanksgiving morning I started the day with an 8 mile run.  There is a trail near our house that I wanted to try out, but didn't want to do in the dark.  From our house to the end of the trail and back it was 8.03 miles.  Perfect.  I took Jonathan with me in the BOB and still ran a 8:41 pace which I was excited about.

For Thanksgiving dinner we went to the Bernhisels house with 5 other families. It was pretty perfect.  They had cute place setting for the kids complete with a turkey to color.  Dinner was delicious.  I'm not a huge turkey fan, but how do you say no to fried turkey and smoked turkey from a BBQ place?  Both were awesome.  We brought mashed potatoes and a veggie tray.  After the dinner the kids ran wild in the backyard.

The desserts were also great.  Someone was smart and brought cookies.  Even with all the amazing looking pies, almost all the kids opted for a good old chocolate chip cookie.  It was fun to relax and enjoy chatting with other adults while all the kids played nicely together.
