We started off our weekend on Wednesday afternoon with some family time in our neighborhood park. Abby loves running down the big hill and Kera is trying to keep-up with her big sister.
Next, it was time for one of my all time favorite movies...
...Charley and the Chocolate Factory (the original version not the stupid remake with Johnny Depp)!
Thursday morning we were up bright and early for a Roger's family turkey day tradition, running a 5k. For the second year in a row we participated in the Catch a Gobbler 5k and everyone did great! It is so nice to get a bit of exercise in so that we can justify our gluttony later.
Did I mention that we got up early...

After the run and getting the bird in the oven we headed out for the first annual Loan Mountain West Turkey Day Football game...SO MUCH FUN...even though my team lost miserably!
Finally, it was time for the main event DINNER! It was only the 4 of us this year but we still had the usual spread:
In usual fashion Abby did not eat much but Kera did! But...Kera only ate cranberries; almost a 1/2 a can worth.
Thanksgiving night it was time to start watching Christmas movies and what better way to start then with Miracle on 34th Street, my favorite.
On Friday evening we had our first annual day after thanksgiving bowling tournament. It was so much fun! Abby did great! The bowling ally was great they have the computers set up so that when it was Abby's turn the side bumpers would come up but when it was Jim or my turn the bumpers would be down. I wish I was allowed to use the bumpers but, it is against the rules.
The final activity of the Thanksgiving weekend was a nice hike at Red Rock Canyon on Sunday. It was a beautiful day out and Abby walked farther than she ever has.
Let the Christmas festivities begin!
