As far back as I can remember my family has always started off Thanksgiving day getting up very early, putting on our walking/running clothes and heading over to the Turkey Trot. Anyone who knows me, know how much I love traditions. I am so happy to share this particular tradition with Evan. This year they changed the time of our race, it now starts at 7:30 am so we had to be up at 5:30 am... Evan was so confused why I woke him up before the sun. He went to the race in this rocket ship pajamas :) My mom and I walked the 5K with Evan and my Dad and Daniel ran the 5k competitive run. It is a lot of fun to see so many people there with their families. It always takes my mom and I a loooong time to finish the race because we tend to like to socialise :) A family friend's house is on the 5K route so we like to stopped by to visit them for bit. My Dad and Daniel on the other hand are more serious competitors so they met up with us later on. Dan finished the race at a record speed, under 30 minutes! I am so proud of him! After the race we headed home for delicious brunch. It was a relaxing day with lots of good food, friends, and football.
Since Dan's dad has to work on Thanksgiving night we have our Thanksgiving with the Mota's on Saturday. It is so nice to have a baker in the family. Every year he makes a rotisserie turkey at his bakery and brings home the most delicious pies. I think I gained at least 10 pounds this weekend!
