Pinning our bibs on in the car because we were freezing at only 50 degrees outside!
Somehow the girls decided to take the pieces of fabric my mom trimmed off of Sarahs' pants and wear them for headbands for the race. I am pretty sure this intimidated their competition.
Henry & Grandma made a good cheering section!
The girls finished their race and Craig & I started out on ours.
The gang decided to wait in the van where it was a bit warmer.
Sarah showing off her medal.
Somehow they ran out of medals and Anna got a trophy. Somehow this was never deemed "unfair" by anyone in our group.
We got home started getting ready for the feast. First, fancy napkin displays by Grandma.
Place cards by Anna.
Henry felt the pie was the perfect finger food. Or he just didn't have time to mess with using a fork.
The girls did great in their first race (Anna's run last month was un-timed so it was "run" rather than a "race"). I ran with Sarah even though I knew it would wear me out for the 5-miler I was doing. Much to my surprise, however, it was the perfect warm-up and I ran a really great race! This was also Craig's first race ever and he was awesome, too. I can't wait until Henry is old enough to join in the fun!
I'm so glad we did all of the prep-work yesterday for the meal today and I think the morning run made it all taste that much better. I think we've started a new Thanksgiving tradition! One other tradition we started this year was to keep jot down things we are thankful for throughout the month. We kept the notes in a ceramic pumpkin and then read them all to each other during the meal.
