Thanksgiving 2019

Time is flying! I cannot believe next week is Christmas already. With Thanksgiving so late in the year this year it feels like we are rushing through the holidays. I wanted to make sure and recap our Thanksgiving before jumping in to all the festive fun we've been doing over the past few weeks.

We held Thanksgiving at my parents house again this year, with each of the siblings contributing to the dinner. We had all of the classics but ended up missing out on rice dressing this year due to a little mishap in the kitchen. But, Thanksgiving continues on and it's a fun story to tell for the future! Long story short after whipping up a batch of rice dressing and trying to take it out to the garage, it dropped and shattered all over the garage floor. I'm sure the squirrels enjoyed the leftovers!

We started out our day with the Manito Turkey Trot. We had good intentions to try and do the entire 3 miles but with little ones it was difficult to finish so we cut out about half way through the walk/trot. My little brother and sister Amy and niece Ocean couldn't make dinner this year, but we still had a full crowd between my sister Sara and her family, my cousin Jake and the Alexanders. My dad also had to work late this year, so he missed out on round 1 of dinner but made it home in time for seconds!

It felt different this year with so many of us missing, but it was still fun, festive and nice to spend time with family.
