I thought it would be fun to make a list of some of the things that we do during the Thanksgiving holiday. Some of them are traditions on purpose, others somehow became that way.
- Thanksgiving feasts and programs at preschool and elementary schools. Link to Alex's kindergarten program: http://www.mcps.k12.md.us/schools/stonegatees/2007-2008/GradeK/Ha/HaHome.shtm
- Grant participates in a "Turkey Bowl" with his brothers (and usually re-injures his knee) Thanksgiving morning.
- Jen makes a whole lot of something yummy for dinner.
- Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Willis's home.
- Many, many pies.
- Full bellies, warmth, and friendship.
- Football games (now in HD).
- Early morning "Black Friday" shopping trip for the ladies, ending with a "Happy Birthday" lunch for sis.-in-law Andra.
- Turkey sandwiches for dinner Friday night.
- Saturday morning "Turkey Burnoff" 5 miler for Jen and and sisters-in-law (Crystal, Andra and Jessica). For results see: http://www.mcrrc.org/racing/race07/20071124TurkeyBurnoff.htm
- Having fun just being together.
- Sad realization on Sunday night that it is all over and we must get back to the routine Monday morning.
