We tried something new this Thanksgiving and pulled all the kids out of bed before sunrise for the annual Turkey Trot, a 2 mile run/walk. Our camera batteries were dead, so you'll have to imagine the beautiful race route-- tall trees towering over orange and yellow underbrush, the whole scene veiled in thick mist. You probably won't want to imagine Gibson's meltdown with half a mile left to go. The photo shows Abe back at home, warming up with a cup of hot cocoa.
Did anyone else put olives on their fingers this week? We spent Thanksgiving dinner with friends and neighbors, enjoying delicious food mingled with wonderful conversation. The kids brought home leftover turkey and jello which they've been feasting on all weekend.

According to my little first grade class it is great fun to put olives on one's fingers, but not so much to eat them.
Cute Abe helping his dad. I was wondering how your family would do Thanksgiving food with you and Brandan being Vegan.
Gibson is cute as always. I imagine a turkey trot might be exhausting for a 2 year old :)
Loved your word picture of the run. I'm fairly sure a photo would not have caught the mood so well.
I like the photo of Gibson making stew. What good sports to all wake up and do the Turkey Trot. I want that tradition!
