Thanksgiving...

 I can't believe Thanksgiving came
(and WENT)
so fast this year.
It was a wonderful, full, busy day
that started with me being a lunatic...
(and posing like a huge clown)
 and running in the 
Ok, normally running 6.2 miles does not 
make me a lunatic...

but it was 5 degrees outside on this
particular Thanksgiving morning. 

I had ice on my face when I finished.

Oh so very cold.
But done and done in 48 minutes!
Mark brought the kids for the end.
They were outside for 15 minutes waiting for me,
which was enough to make 3 out of the 5 cry...
they were SO cold. 

Next came the rest of the day...
which was cooking, family, food, and eating of all that cooked food :).
 We had Thanksgiving at our house this year, with some of Mark's family.

 Here is our 21 pound turkey carcass...
after Mark so nicely carved it for us :).
 He even got to use the super fabulous apron I made for him 
a Christmas or two ago...

It was a good day.

Bring on Christmas.

Geez you run fast! If we had run the Human Race together, "together" would have been a pretty loose term:)
It looks like you had a lovely Thanksgiving Day, I can't wait to see you guys at Christmas!
