Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we had a big party, and we had 25 people RSVP... until the snow came and the roads closed.  Still, I am very THANKFUL for the 11 we were able to gather for food and fun and the remaining family was able to stay safe.  We had a few brave souls run the 5K Turkey Trot Thanksgiving morning (with wind chill it was -7 degrees).  Later we gathered at Mom and Dad's house for dinner, games, and stories. We went to see Disney's Tangled on Friday after the early morning shoppers woke up from their naps :).  All in all, we had a thankfully wonderful and safe holiday!
