Thanksgiving

As always, Thanksgiving began, for us, at the Feaster Five Road Race.  The kids participated in the kids race, though it was such a cold day that Lexi's feet froze and she did not enjoy the run at all.  Zach muddled through, but everyone was happy to get inside when it was over.  The main race went well, as always, but I didn't stick around when it was over, because I had stuffing to make, a shower to take, and a long drive ahead of us.

Jude, Ronea, Vann, Gino, Zach and Lexi get ready for the kids race.

Zach and Lexi show off their bibs.  BRR!!  It was cold!

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with Ahren's family in CT.  Aunt Kim and Uncle Brian hosted, and they certainly had a full house!  It was wonderful to have an opportunity to spend some time with them, as we certainly do not get to see them as often as we would like to.

Uncle Brian browns the stuffing.  :)

Auntie Kae is always happy to play with her nieces and nephews!

What a crew!

The kids were very happy to see their Great Grammy Duda!

Zach always wants the leg.  It was almost as big as his head!

We took advantage of everyone being together to celebrate Grammy and Grampy's 40th wedding anniversary.

Happy Anniversary!

Lexi's favorite part of the entire day was spending some time with Aunt Kim in the stables.  She loved seeing the horses, and getting to feed them their dinner.  Then she and Aunt Kim climbed all the way to the top of the hay bales into the rafters.  I was impressed that Lexi went right up there (even though there were spider webs!!).  Lexi and Aunt Kim really bonded that evening, and Lexi is really hoping to go for another visit this summer when we can spend more time together.  We are looking forward to it.

Up in the rafters!

Lexi and Aunt Kim have a chat.

It was a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We were so happy to spend it with our wonderful family.
