Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving in Orangeville (we alternate every year). We left as soon as we could, which was Tuesday night after work and school. We had a nice relaxing time down there, as always. It was a smaller crowd this year. Our family was down there, as well as Kari, Tessa, and Josh's grandma. Thanksgiving dinner was delicious. I'm sure we all ate too much....but that is sort of the point.

Thanksgiving morning we ran the Huntington Turkey Trot 5k (another tradition). I have been exercising as much as I normally do, however, I haven't ran since my 1st trimester of pregnancy. I wasn't planning on actually running the race, I was planning on doing a nice speed walk/slow run, just to get some nice exercise in before the big Thanksgiving dinner. To my surprise I was able to run the entire 5k. Don't get me wrong, it was a SLOW 5k, I took it nice and easy. When I started running it wasn't as uncomfortable as I had expected so I kept on going, before I knew it I ran across the finish line. I think if I had been any further along than I am now (which is 30 weeks), that I probably would have had to stop. Here are some pictures:

...and some more.



We took advantage of the great babysitters we had available and took a night out to see, Catching Fire. Josh & I both read the books and couldn't wait to see the movie. Needless to say, we LOVED it! I liked it even better than the first movie. We saw it at a cute old theater in Price. I love little old places that have character. I think I might have to go see the movie again!
Unfortunately, Josh's grandma broke one of her teeth off down to the root without anyone knowing until she got to Orangeville. Luckily we had an almost-dentist in the house! Josh called up a local office and they let him use their equipment to fix her tooth. He has 1 1/2 years left of school and we can't wait until he gets to work full time! We were all impressed with his skills. He is going to be a great dentist.
Here is one last picture of my cute-pie on our drive home. This guy needed a potty break and of course to touch the snow. He is getting so big, and smart, and clever.....the list could go on forever. Love him!
