One of the best Thanksgivings ever!

Cold and early are just a few words that describe this morning run. I pulled Christina out of bed to go freeze and take the before and after pictures of me…it was 20 degrees – not bad, I know -  unless you have to ummmm…run in it=) When I started my feet were completely numb with cold, they thawed out by mile two and I felt great the rest of the run. Check out the Drumstick Dash here…they have a very neat mission and touch a lot of lives. Some of the best miles I’ve ever run…it was a little over four miles.

This was just the beginning to an absolutely perfect day…mom had pulled all of the books out about the history of Thanksgiving (brought back so many memories of past Thanksgivings) The meal was a killer, smoked turkey and all the fixings… so yummy! I can still taste it=)

My wonderful mom who worked so hard to make this day a success…I love her so much! The perfect role model. IMG_1928-001

We ended the day with a game of Catch Phrase and the watched “The Sound of Music” Perfect ending to a perfect day=) This will always be a Thanksgiving I will look back on and smile. So many good memories combined into one day.

How was your Thanksgiving?
