Raise your hand if you’re stuffed full of turkey and other yummy foods.
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving. We sure did. We kicked off
Turkey Day with a brisk 5 mile run. I've run Fast Freddies for 11 years in a
row and I love it. My dad is on his third year (plus he competed in the walk
event the 9 years before that) and Justin has run it the last two years. This
year, my sister ran the race for the very first time. Pretty soon my evil plan
will be complete and my entire family will be running with me on Thanksgiving
morning!!
I managed to keep a 9:40 pace and finished in 48:22 - better than I expected! After a warm shower and a giant mug of coffee, we went to Thanksgiving
#1 at my grandma’s house. Her cheesy cauliflower is my favorite food in the
whole entire world. I was too busy eating to take pictures so you'll just have to trust that it was a wild and crazy time. We had over 30 people smooshed into my grandma's house and enough food to feed 60!
For dinner, my grandparent’s came over to my parent’s house for some pumpkin pie and (what was supposed to be) game night. We ended up watching the Levi show most of the night. This kid is so awesome. He has so much personality and is a musical genius! He can play the piano and sing...so much talent for a 10 month old :)

On Friday morning, The Boy and and I traveled down to Bardstown, KY to his grandma’s house. We had a delicious lunch with his family and I made plans to visit his grandma again to learn all of her recipes!
On Saturday, we went to see the Christmas light show in Charlestown, which is just a few miles from my parent's house. For a little town, they do it up BIG. They have two HUGE parks full of Christmas lights and there is a little show set to music. My cousins brought their two kiddos and we all had a blast.
Even though it was a long weekend, it went by so fast! On Sunday we all parted ways to head back to our respective parts of the country. Leaving home is always hard, but it was a little easier this trip knowing that we'll all be back in Indiana in three short weeks.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?
Random, but what was the last movie you saw in the theater?
Last movie = The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. Also close to that was Interstellar. I recommend both of these!
ReplyDeleteSo sad I won't be seeing you for Christmas! I think this is the first year that I won't be around to celebrate your birthday. I'll just have a drink for you in Monterrey!
We were supposed to go see the Hunger Games last week but our plans fell through. We HAVE to find at least one overlapping day in the 'Ville so that we can grab a drink.
DeleteMiss you!
