Thanksgiving 2008

Our Thanksgiving started at about 4:40 am when the cat knocked Chris's change box thing onto the floor and made a big crash. We dozed for about an hour more before the alarm went off. This is the reason why...



Yes, Chris ran the half marathon yesterday morning. (He's in the middle of the picture with his arm raised... blue top and black pants). Luckily, my dad, Sue (step mom), Jennifer (step sister) and Jared (Jennifer's hubby) joined me in cheering Chris on. This is Sue and Jennifer while we were waiting for Chris to come by.

We had an early start to our lovely day. We all met up again at dad and Sue's house for our Thanksgiving meal. We were joined by my brother and his girlfriend and Jared's parents. Chris fried his first turkey (how many people do you know that ran a half marathon AND fried a turkey?). We all had some of our favorites and enjoyed a very yummy dinner. We had some excitement after dinner when the power went out. We all sat in the dark and talked about about an hour. It was nice to be with family and friends yesterday! I hope everyone had a wonderful day!
