What a wonderful week-long, restful & productive Thanksgiving break. We loved the time to play, organize closets...the garage, move Landon's office upstairs, donate lots of clothes to Goodwill, and CLEANED!! I even squeezed in a fun girl's night out.
Omi and Papa came down to join my whole family for a Thanksgiving feast at our house. We started off Thanksgiving morning by rooting for Landon (at home) on his 13 mile "Turkey Trot" in downtown Atlanta. He's been training for months with our neighbor Nate across the street. This was Landon's first 1/2 marathon run, and we were all so proud of him. Ambrea and I decorated our mailboxes and welcomed our men back into the neighborhood complete with a finish line banner. Omi and Papa helped with the cooking Thursday morning and prepared the turkey, while the chef of the house was occupied running. Aren't I the spoiled hostess?
Miller couldn't wait to see "coo coo Clay"...don't ask me how he has contorted uncle into "coo coo"!He loved waiting in great anticipation for his arrival. Clay loved hearing all of Miller's new words, numbers, and colors. He's surely changed a lot since we last saw Uncle Clay.
This year we all contributed to the feast and had a pot-luck dinner. It was nice to have traditional dishes from both families represented on our table. The Fokens sweet potato and banana dish was a favorite. And, we asked for Grandmama's brocolli salad to make our feast complete.
After dessert, our 26 some odd pound turkey entertained us all with lots of running and dancing to burn off the extra calories.
Miller had his own rendition of the "Turkey Trot Trot" in mind to tickle our fancies!
