Thanksgiving 2009

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone.  I wish the holiday season would slow down a little! Our Thanksgiving morning began with the "Cheshire Chase" (a neighborhood 1 mile or 5k run) hosted by my brother in law Matt and sister Melody.  Stan took the kids and ran the 1 mile with them.  Unfortunately it ended badly when Stan and my nephew Grant tripped over each other.  In an effort to keep Grant from being hurt too badly, Stan took the brunt of the fall and landed hard on his ribs.  We don't know if he cracked a rib or just bruised them badly, but he's still in a lot of pain.  Poor guy. 

Once the kids and Stan got back from the run, we watched the Thanksgiving parade on television as we made pies and mashed potatoes.  Then it was off to Thanksgiving Dinner (lunch) at my parents house.  Stan and I are lucky enough to have both of our families living in town, so we alternate years.  Either way, it's always a big gathering. :) 

Here are some pictures of the fun day (Tara and Wendy…I stole some of your pictures.) :)

We stayed until about 5:00 and then headed home.  After a little nap we enjoyed a relaxing evening at home eating turkey leftovers while watching “Miracle on 34th Street”.  Christmas…here we come!
