Turkey Trot

Matt had to work a half-day on our actual Thanksgiving Day. I was at the school that morning decorating for our staff Thanksgiving that was being held the next day. We taxied to Peter's Tex Mex for a late lunch and were joined by our friends the Millers. It wasn't a traditional meal, but we enjoyed it (Matt had fried chicken and Brynn a hotdog). We topped it off with yummy ice cream.

The next day began with me running (or should I say slowing jogging) a 5K Turkey Trot. Matt was okay with skipping and watching the girls. Matt's philosophy on running is that he doesn't do it unless he is playing a sport or someone is chasing him. I am proud to say I was able to jog the whole way without stopping and I did not pass out!

After the 5K the kids participated in a Tot Trot. Brynn had a blast and made it two whole laps around the track.

Go Brynn Go!

The highlight for her was the two stickers she got for completing laps and the cinnamon roll she talked me into letting her eat.

Aubrey worked hard too!

Later that day, we joined the rest of our staff for a delicious traditional Thanksgiving meal. We all ate too much and finished the afternoon playing outside. Matt even played a soccer match and Brynn enjoyed the sandbox. Aubrey had a full belly and napped the whole time!

Brynn enjoyed the activities at the kiddie table.

Unfortunately I did not get any family pictures.

We got to Skype both sets of parents today. We are so thankful for our wonderful family!
