We started our Thanksgiving day off with our third annual turkey trot 5K (Jack's second..he "ran" in utero last year). It was a chilly, chilly morning, but SO refreshing!  We were two couples down this year, as our usual turkey trotters are 7 and 8 months pregnant! Hopefully all three couples will be back at it next year..all with jogging strollers :) 
So, good news...we took first place in the stroller division (we made that division up)--but, we  really were the first stroller to cross the finish line at 27:06. The first year we ra in 33minutes, and last year in 30 minutes..so, each year getting 3 minutes quicker! Pretty good considering running w/ a jogger is 50 times harder. 

 People even have large ornaments for Thanksgiving in Sayre! :)


 Here we come!

 the fog looks so neat with the trees

all finished...bring on the turkey!

We had a great day, spending time with both families, and of course stuffing our faces twice. It's great to eat at two places..we always pick our favorites at each house, and eat accordingly ;) Jack enjoyed a little taste of this..and a little taste of that. He loves his Mema's applesauce, and I am sure he would have loved his Grammy's squash, except I accidentally fed him canned pumpkin..thinking it was squash! haha. My mom had made him special squash and apples, and I went in the fridge and apparently warmed up the left over pumpkin. We couldn't figure out why he was making such god awful faces, as he lovesssss food. We joked that he didn't like my mom's cooking (which is unheard of, and I am SURE she took it personally)..hehe. The next day we were going to try the "squash" again, until Grammy let me know that what I had in my hand was not the tupperware container filled with squash! whoops!




Doesn't he look ready for Yale?? oh. my. lord.


 Thanksgiving at the Wheeler's...
yummo, Deb

 
Thanksgiving at the Guinane's
always room for Patty's delicious cooking

I also channeled my inner Martha-ness and crafted up these place setting tags by taking tags (cut out on the Cricut), adding a little button and tying to a small gourd with twine. How cute would this be for a fall wedding? So easy, and so fun....It really makes me want to make time to craft more often...oh, how I miss little projects!
