my reality show

we started by meeting @ the budz by 6:15 for pizza (thanx gabe) and coffee...they are seriously the coolest family to n joy (if you can actually get them to sit still long enough)! we pinned our race bibs on and hit the road for the turkey trot. gary was the chief (aggraviter-lol) -- christa & brandon were lil indians (u can call her prosperity from now on...). hannah & shalene were twins (imagine that), and mike & bethany were santa's lil elves...just check that group pic out!! whata group!!
we took a lil too much time getting ready cuz we JUST made it in time for the National Anthem... too close for comfort (we turned a 6.2 mile run into an 8 miler--had to scale two walls and a fence & run on the freeway just to make it on time...).. but alas all's well that ends well & we had sooo much fun running this year's trot (that's actually what i did--trot!!!)...

then off to the most anticipated meal of the year...with a family that loves to b together! man, EVERY room in nana's & papa's house is FILLED with our precious family being us--snuggling, laughing, sharing & playing games..so very much to b thankful for.

thank you, family- we are so fortunate to have each other!
