Thanksgiving - Part 1

Thanksgiving was such a big day I'm breaking it down into 3 parts.  We were so blessed to have my brother, Nick, (his wife) Joni, and (their kids) Kale, Brady, and Zac and my Grandma, as well as Randy's sister, Sara, (her husband) Eric, and their kids Oliver, Parker and Julia.  Of course we saw Kathy and Dale plus a couple of their kids.  After that George and Robert, who work with Randy joined us for dinner.  But on to part one.

We started Thanksgiving morning at Kathy and Dale's for our very own Turkey Trot, organized by Aunt Kathy.  The adults ran a 5K that started at the Stiles, circled by our house and ended back up at the Stiles. Their run started (at I think) 9am.  Here are the runners (l-r) Kathy, Dale, Christopher, Yahway (a friend of Christopher's and Michelle's), Michelle, Nick, Sara, Randy and Alex.  They were forced to run while it slowly snowed big fat flakes, but I don't think it slowed anyone down much. 

Next the kids had their fun run.  It started after the 5K and after I got back from putting the turkey in the oven, at our house.  The runners included Henry, Brady, Parker, Timmy, Max, Sophia, Kale and Oliver.  Here they are ready to start.

Taking off to run around Kathy's circle.

Nick and Brady, after Brady got his medal.  Brady's big brother, Kale, won the race, but everyone got a medal.  Kale just got bragging rights, but was a gracious winner and didn't really brag about it.

Happy to have his medal!

After everyone received their medal, we went inside for bagels, muffins, coffee, hot chocolate and all kinds of breakfast goodies.  Until it was time for part 2.
