Thanksgiving

This year we decided (well, Grandma Nelson decided for us) to stay local and my mom hosted the BEST thanksgiving at her home. The morning started out great--we woke up, ate breakfast and left to go over to my mom's. We left AJ with my parents while John and I went on a FIVE MILE run. You read that right, FIVE MILES. We were surprised how far we went, especially since I have been running in years! I must say, I give myself some kudos and I think John was proud of me too!

After our run and promptly getting ready, the boys watched football while my mom and I finished cooking. My mom is amazing, she bascially had everything organized and ready to go!


Then came dinner. The table was perfect. I made the centerpiece and my mom set the table. The table was HUGE, but we needed it--9 of us for dinner. Smaller than the usual 50-60 at Grandma Nelson's, but big for our family of 5--we are growing!
