It's not ONLY Thanksgiving and George Eliott's birthday...

Sarah...it's our 14th Wedding anniversary! Wow. That's a long time for Jared to have had to live with me. To quote my mom, "He's like an old shoe." I'm fairly certain she intends for that to be a compliment. Anyway...I'm feeling pretty lucky and Thankful today for Jared and 4 sweet kids.

So...this morning we started off our Thanksgiving festivities with the Human Race. A 5K turkey trot as one might call it. We came in dead last. I even had to walk the last quarter mile with 1 shoe...I know I'm a trooper. Lest you think I gave my shoe to someone more needy--my toes felt like they were turning black from lack of circulation and I felt certain that it would be wise to give them some blood. The trotters were: My mom, Ann & Travis, Karen & Bill and Rachel & I. Jared stayed home with the boys...and I am glad for that! There were too many crying kiddos on the trail. I'm glad none were mine! There was one dad scolding his 6-year-old saying, "there are thousands of people here and you're the only one crying!" Gee I wonder why??

Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!
