Thanksgiving Day

Nine children lined up in the snow ready to run, it must be Thanksgiving morning and time for the 2nd annual turkey trot.  Last year Kathy held a turkey trot that started at her front door. Adults that wanted to ran a 5K and the kids ran a fun run loop around the circle Kathy and Dale live on. This year the tradition continued. Kathy, Dale, Sara and Eric ran the 5K. Lined up ready to start the fun run is(oldest to youngest) Alex, Max, Sophia, Oliver, Henry, Timmy, Parker, Julia and Lucas.

Ready, set, go!

Timmy made it to the finish line and received his prize from Aunt Kathy. Each kid got a character cup filled with candy.

Sophia at the finish line.

Parker and Uncle Eric made it!

Here come the littlest runners. These little troopers ran the entire race! Julia's almost to the finish line, with Lukey behind, and Randy and Sara cheering them on.

Lukey made it to the finish line and the run is done!

Now on to the feast! Here is the kids' table, plates full, hands folded, praying before they dig in.

Last year we fed the kids before the adults, and it worked really well. The adults got hot food with just a few interruptions. So we repeated it this year. And here are the kids digging in to all kinds of kid food. Alex and Max didn't join the kids but waited for the traditional meal.

Yikes! Max has a knife! Don't worry he's just helping me cut up fruit.

George and Luke just chillin'.  George is our friend and works with Randy.  He's great with our kids, always brings really good dessert and likes to play Scrabble. What's not to like, right?

Well once I ate, I was much to full to take any more pictures. Until Lukey hit. He snuck away and quietly started picking the keys right off our computer!! That boy gets into everything. Good thing he's so darn cute and lovable. I asked Randy to take a picture without Lukey seeing. Thankfully the keys snapped right back into place and work just fine.
