GIVE THANKS

We started our Thanksgiving day off with some good old exercise.  My family has been going to the Mesa Turkey Trot for a very long time.  My first one was in 1995. (I'm even wearing my shirt I got way back then.)  The girls and I, along with their cousins did the 1 mile family fun walk.  They ran/walked and Jolie and I walked.
Morgan's brother and his wife ran the 10K and did awesome.
My dad always runs the 10K.  He is great.  He came in 3 in his age group and got a metal.  My brother Dallas did awesome and beat the turkey. (that means he ran faster than someone who raced in a turkey suit.)
Morgan ran the 2 mile run and did great.
The whole fam.
After a long day hangin' out out home (nap), we finally had our annual Thanksgiving feast at my aunt and uncles house.  There was quite a big croud.  I think it was about 80, kids included.  
The girls with their cousin swinging.

One of my cousins even proposed to his girlfriend before we ate.  It was fun to be a part of that.
After the Woolf family dinner, we went to the Browns for dessert.  I brought my famous Hershey Bar pie.  It was gone in about 5 minutes. 
 I guess I need to make two next year. 
 (The Woolfs knew better and we had 5 chocolate pies.)

We enjoyed spending the day with you guys. Thanks again for taking the girls with you on the 1-mile race. In a few years, all of our peeps will be trotting!

Yes, I had a big piece of your pie and then took some home for later. It was a good day. We are blessed to have such a fantastic family. We love you!
