Thanksgiving was fabulous. We decided to stay home this year and enjoy some local activities with our immediate family. We participated in a 5K race…..the proceeds from the race went to a local food bank. Kyle and I felt comfortable walking and the kids enjoyed competing with other runners who enjoy running competitions. It felt great to start the day out exercising in the fresh cool air before tanking up on all the Thanksgiving goodies. We liked it so much so I think we will do it again.
A few hours after the race, we ate a yummy traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Then we decided to enjoy digesting our food while catching an afternoon matinee. The movie, “Blindside” received bad reviews, but my family and I totally disagree with the critic’s reviews. My whole family loved it, and we thought it was the best movie we have seen in years!
I am already looking forward to next year’s Thanksgiving.

I’m so glad you guys had such a fun thanksgiving. I really missed you all this year and wish we could have been there.
I’ve been trying to talk Ben into driving to Utah for Christmas but both of us think Hallie might not be ready for a road trip that big yet. Although she is better in the car, she still has attitude and I don’t think 2-3 days in a car would make her very happy.
We missed you too! Although we would love to have you for Christmas, I know I wouldn’t want to drive across the United States with a baby. I try to concentrate on the fact that you guys are having so many wonderful opportunties and experiences! Love ya!
