Happy Thanksgiving 2011

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. It was nice and low key. We enjoyed talking about all the things we are thankful for and we enjoyed spending quality time as a family.

Before we gobbled down any turkey on Turkey day, our neighbors hooked us up with sky box tickets to the local hockey game. It was pretty spectacular and a very nice way to watch a hockey game.

On the day of Thanksgiving, we kept with our tradition of waking up early and going to the Turkey Trot. It was a beautiful day to participate in such a fun event. Andy had a great time running it. I wish I could have joined him this year but my knee and back are not fully recovered and it was not worth the risk of making my injuries worse. Thankfully my parents hung out with me and the kids and we walked the one mile.
After all our hard work at the Turkey Trot, we went to my parents house where we were spoiled with yummy food and good company.

Abby loved playing peek-a-boo.

My little girl. Growing up too fast.
My sibling picture attempt. I think they did pretty good.
Ta-da!
Emma was ready to eat.
We made another Thanksgiving tree this year. The girls had a fun time coming up with things they were thankful for each night. Our favorite one was from Emma. She said she was thankful for ceiling fans.
It was a wonderful day being together and creating memories. We are truly blessed and are so thankful for all of our blessings. Happy Thanksgiving!
