FUN!

What a great weekend! Here are some highlights from our "week of thanks"!:

-cutting and packing venison meat with Heath and Grant

-pheasant hunting with my dad on Thanksgiving morning

-Thanksgiving omelets at Uncle Jim's....and gigantic cinnamon rolls

-WAY too competitive monopoloy and texas hold em

-seeing Gramma Stella, who looks fabulous

-holding my new nephew, Sawyer

-pie at Gramma Pearl's. She made 9 pies!

My mom prepared a delish Thanksgiving meal and, as usual, made it look effortless. We sat around our dining room table, just my parents, gramma, and Heath and Grant, and I was so thankful to have all of them. What a loving family we have been blessed with.

And finally-the grand finale of the really fun weekend-we ran the SEATTLE HALF MARATHON THIS MORNING! It was so fun! Andy and I both chalk this run up to our favorite run of all time. We started and ended at the space needle. The weather was perfect. A nice, cool drizzle. We ran through skyscrapers, through parks, on a major interstate, through a tunnel, along the bay, with about 13,000 other runners. We felt strong and fast. Both of us really enjoyed it ....almost as much as we enjoyed our huge plate of Thanksgiving leftovers when we got home.
