Growth of a Sprout: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving weekend started in Tallahassee. We drove up Wednesday night and had dinner at Missy's (we will call that Thanksgiving #.5). Thursday morning, bright and early, I ran in the turkey trot 5k. The weather was really nice and there were a TON of people there!

Before the race

Ready to go!

There I am finishing

The time is a minute or 2 off because of the big bottleneck we encountered in the beginning. We came to almost a complete stop, then had to walk really slowly until the turn where the road got wider.

Thursday evening- Thanksgiving #1 at the Gorins. This year instead of football, the guys played croquet.

I give it a try

They were required to do a victory dance when they finished

My little man gets a lot of attention

But he is still a momma's boy :)

Ready to eat!

Mmm! Jake had turkey, pumpkin, and sweet potato

Stairs. His favorite.

Big meal = tired boys

The next day- Friday. I woke up super early and was at the mall at 6am for black friday shopping! I actually had a bet with my mom because she didn't think I would get up and leave the house by 5:30 (I guess she has forgotten how much I love to shop??). Well, I won and she bought Jake his Pottery Barn Kids chair (pictures to come). Thank GOODNESS I didn't lose- I would have had to clean up after the shower all by myself, with all the ladies directing me!

Anyways, Friday afternoon was Nicki's baby shower.

The food was so yummy

His Thanksgiving book - Missy's cats gave this to me at my shower LAST Thanksgiving

If there are stairs, he will find them!

Discussing what we are thankful for (Jacob wrote on his- "bananas, Sophie, boobies". Somehow everyone guessed it was his right away??)

Saturday. Lindsay and Jay visit

Sean and I went to the Ale house with Sarah, Lindsay and Jay while Jake went with my parents to the Coopers to watch the game. Then we went to the Coopers to get him, say goodbye to everyone and head back to Orlando.
