I know Thanksgiving was like 5 days ago, but it was such a fun weekend I thought I would still post it. We started Thanksgiving off with the UTAH HUMAN RACE. Besides the fact that we were frozen solid...it was a blast. 
Seriously, it was soooo cold! My face was literally numb, I felt like I had been to the dentist and got some serious work done. There were 5 of us that ran, Holly, Kelly, Court, Collin and me. We were going to push the boys and Peiton in the stroller, but thank goodness Charlie said he would stay home with them, bless his heart...they would have froze to ice cubes. This was the second year for the race, and they had a great turn out. All the proceeds go to the Utah Food Bank and LDS Humanitarian services, so we were running for a good cause.
After the race we went home to get ready f0r the big ole' Thanksgiving dinner. This year we spent Thanksgiving with Collin's family. Dinner was at Holly and Charlie's and it was FABULOUS!! Holly always seems to always outdo herself, she is amazing! Believe it or not...we had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, rolls, etc..etc...it was all delicious! And to top it off yummy pie, which put me overboard stuffed!
It was such a fun day surrounded by family and the cutest little Indians ever! The kids played good all day, and to top it off Bode had a wonderful nap for about 3 hours. 
After dinner and letting the food settle a little bit, the ladies moved on to the crafts. Our wonderful Nicky put together some AWESOME crafts. She is so creative! I ended up making these darling staking boxes and some cute boxes to put some yummy goodies in for Coop's teachers and other little gifts.
It was fun to sit and talk with each other while the men played RISK...or watched some football. They were kind enough to keep a eye on the kids so we were able to be crafty. Thanks Nicky for putting together some fun crafts, your amazing!!

I wish I would have known you were running that race. I was thinking about doing it, but didn't want to do it alone. Maybe next year!
I still can't believe that you have ran a marathon! It kills me. I am proud to say that I can now do a mile in ten min. I couldn't imagine doing even 2 miles, let alone 26!!! You inspire me. You always have with determination and will power. You Rock! Your craft was so cute. Darling pictures!!
Fun, fun, fun! I bet you wish you were running a marathon a week from Sunday with me. What was I thinking? At least it will be warm where I'm running.
