Turkey with our turkeys

Thanksgiving was quite eventful as always this year, and a lot of fun! We managed to keep fairly organized with all the bouncing around from location to location and even enjoyed some relaxation! And boy were the kids troopers!!

We headed out Wednesday evening to stay with Cici, and woke up Thanksgiving morning, continuing our annual tradition (9th in a row) of doing the Run for the Hungry . I love this tradition, and it makes my heart smile to know my boys are learing to give back on the day of being thankful. After our turkey trot, we headed over for a fabulous thanksgiving gathering and meal at Auntie Court's and Uncle Kris' house. They really outdid themselves, and we were sad to not have a bit more time with them. On to dinner #2 at Pa & Noni's with all the aunts, uncles, great grandmas, and cousins. It was a chaotic (in a good way) time, and one that the kids totally enjoyed. (It was a hoot watching my cousins whom I once babysat, play hide and go seek with my littles...). Friday morning, we headed up to Mount Laguna and it was then, that I could feel myself breathe the clean air and relax in to a nice weekend of calmness and peace, knowing we'd be staying put for 2 days in our cozy cabin. We played games, went to Julian to shop the craft fairs, watched movies, did crafts, and ate everything turkey (Turkey sandwiches, turkey soup, turkey chili...!) And although I personally have decided I might have hit the end of the road with doing the dual celebrations, it was a fabulous weekend and I am so thankful for all the good memories!
