The firsts of Thanksgiving

This years Thanksgiving was GREAT! A nice stress free day. :) The day started out with Steven, Mom and Kim running the fleet feet 5k. Note that this was Steven's very first race. (other than 1 1/2 mile runs testing for departments)

Steven ran it in 26 minutes which put him in tenth place in his age group. (25-29)

 After he finished he went back and finished the race with Kim who did it 32 minutes.

 Then he once again ran back to finish up with my mom. He was so excited I could hardly keep track of him.

After the race Mom, Kim and I went to my parents house to make Thanksgiving dinner. It was so fun! I learned how to clean and stuff a turkey. Mom taught us how to make Grandma Bowers' stuffing. I learned to make gravy. It was just so nice to be cooking food and not worrying about anything else. Behold the fruit of our labors. :)

Once we were done eating Steven left for the store to try his hand at his first black Friday shopping. I joined him two hours later. But still in time for everything. We got EVERYTHING we wanted! (which was mostly for my parents) It was a lot of fun. Steven had fun which is important, hopefully he will go again next year.
