Thanksgiving Fun

For this year's Thanksgiving my brother and his family came to visit. We had such a wonderful time together. There will be a few more blog posts with all the fun activities we did. We were just thankful to be together as a family. There is nothing better than that. I am already counting down the months until we get to see them again.

To kick off Thanksgiving, we created a thankful tree (thanks Kristen G. for the idea). Here is Emma's tree with all her leaves.




On Thanksgiving morning we headed down to the Turkey Trot to stay true to our tradition. This was Abby's first year to participate. She slept the whole way through. =)
This year we did pretty well with our run, especially since it was the first time I ran since having Abby. This was the last race I ran before getting pregnant with Abby.


My like cutie pie!!


Abby's first Thanksgiving!


Emma frosting some turkey sugar cookies. Yum Yum!


Kate enjoying some homemade whipping cream that Gammie made for the pies.


Nolan needed some too.
