Thanksgiving/ Half Marathon

We had a great Thanksgiving break. It was so nice to have David home for 4 days in a row and we packed many fun/festive things into our weekend. First we had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at our house with some of David's family and my mom. We did the turkey for the first time and I have to say it turned out perfectly!Friday morning David and I got up at 3am to take advantage of the Black Friday sales to get a new TV. Luckily the store we went to was about 5 minutes away and we were able to go, get it, come home and go back to sleep. Rachel stayed the night so that we could leave Aidan and we are so glad we were able to do that!

Meg and I have been training for the Seattle Half Marathon and our race was Nov. 28th. It was such a fun experience to run with her and be a part of something so big. We felt like real runners and accomplished a huge goal. My mom and David watched the boys and came to cheer us on (Meg's husband Chris was on call at the hospital so he couldn't be there).
We finished in 2hr 20min which was great time for our first half marathon. We had such a good time and are now discussing which will be our next race.

Snow!


We had a lot of snow right before Thanksgiving. We thought we should get Aidan all bundled up and let him play in it. He immediately wanted to be put down so he could crawl but as soon as his mittens came off he changed his mind.
