Thanksgiving 2014

This year for Thanksgiving we had some of Thomas' family in town.  His sister and her kids from Texas, a nephew and his fiance from Rexburg, and Thomas' aunt and uncle and their four kids from Utah.
Thanksgiving morning Thomas and I got up to run the Turkey Day 5K that we also ran last year.  We had Kristin (his sister), his cousin, and his nephew's fiance staying at our house the night before so they watched Brooklyn at our place while we ran. I love starting off Thanksgiving day surround by the excitement of a race and the adrenalin that accompanies.

Brooklyn actually asked to take a nap halfway through the meal.  While she was napping (she took almost a four hour nap!) Thomas and I went to see Mockingay Part 1 at the nearby movie theater.  photo IMG_5710_zpsf79fd918.jpg
Once we got home we got out the pies and started playing games.  The "Heads Up" app game was a hit (you put the phone up to your forehead and your team members have to get you to guess the word on the screen).  We also played chubby bunny and a skittles/dice game.
We loved being around family and reflecting on the things we are Thankful for.
