Happy Thanksgiving!

Did you have a good Thanksgiving?  We sure did!  We had a nice mixture of Baxter's and Jensen's over. Officially it was an "in-law" Thanksgiving year, so I invited Lee and Lisa and their family.  I also invited my parents and brothers over for dinner so they wouldn't have to cook for just the four of them.   Lisa invited her sister and brother in law, so it was a great group of folks.

All were welcome!

We started out the day with our traditional Thanksgiving Turkey run.  Allyson, Matt (pushing Emma and Isaiah in a stroller), Adrienne, Connor and I ran the 4 mile run, and Ashlyn ran the 1 mile kid's run.  It was a little chilly, but we plan on that.  :)

Ashlyn did AMAZING!  She ran that mile in under 8 mins.  So proud of my little runner!

We ate in our basement, and enjoyed a delicious dinner!

Food always draws a crowd!

Karl's brother Milo and his family joined us for pie, bringing Karl's parents, Eleanor and Reilly.  Eleanor suffers from severe Dementia and struggles to understand the conversations.  My mom took lots of time visiting with her.  

It was a sweet moment.

The boys had a chess tournament...just some "friendly, brotherly" competition..:)

Is there really such a thing???
