The Sunday before Thanksgiving we had a "pre-Thanksgiving" dinner over at Cam and Jenny's with all of my family. Delicious food and good company...the kids had a lot of fun playing together, and at one point they were all jumping off the couches. They certainly took advantage of adults who were too busy talking to pay attention! It is always fun when all of my family gets together. We have the most interesting and hilarious discussions....jpg)

Before all of the Thanksgiving festivities began I decided to run in the Turkey Trot! I am training for a 1/2 marathon for the end of January, so I thought this would be good practice since I have never run in a race. I finished just over an hour (1:06 to be exact). I thought I would have a hard time since I had not run 6 miles yet in my training, but I took it slow, and felt good at the finish. It was especially fun seeing my little family half way through cheering me on from the side, and then seeing them at the finish line! 
After the race we rushed home and got ready for our Thanksgiving lunch with the Williams. Ladd and Janet had everything set up outside and it was a beautiful day! I ate way too much and especially stuffed myself with the dessert. I barely saw Wyatt and Luke the whole day. They ate really fast and then played for hours with their cousins on the trampoline, at the park, and downstairs with all of the toys. 
Here we have PJ deciding he wanted to get into the pool (Jared was kind enough to throw him in). Although it was a nice day the pool was freezing! 
Here I am visiting with some of my sisters-in-law. This is when we decided it might be fun to go the the mall at midnight, spend $100 and then get $50 back on a gift card. This was as close to "black Friday" as I wanted to get. 
Jared's dad took a snooze right there at the table!
