Thanksgiving 2014

On Thanksgiving morning, Jim and his friend Jeff got up early to run a 6 mile run.  The kids and I walked a short distance from our house to see them. It was a bit icy, but no one got hurt. 
 
The kids were so excited to see Dad!

After the run, we got dressed for the day's festivities.  Maggie wore an adorable turkey dress.

Maggie with her Godmother, Bridget.
Kelly holidays are always filled with live music!  Jim played the ukelele he got in Hawaii.
His brother Paul played guitar.
Grandma played the piano.  They are definitely a talented family!
I took pictures.


After a morning at Jim's parents' house, we went to my parents' house for dinner.  My brother was in town with his family.
The adult table:
Ingrid and Patrick:
We facetimed with Uncle David in Australia.
The boys were acting silly for the camera.

Kathleen felt sweet baby kicks after the delicious meal.
We got a picture with all the grandchildren in the States with matching snowman pjs. 


On Saturday, we did a fun race nearby.  Patrick, Ingrid, Jim, and I ran the 5K.  Out of 121 finishers, my brother Patrick came in 3rd!  
Jim placed 17th!
 I was happy with my 8:15 pace.
The awards ceremony:

After the awards ceremony, there was a half mile fun run that the kids did.  Our five are on the right side of the picture (Ryan, Adam, Lukas, Jack, and Patrick ran).
Patrick's oldest son, Ryan, came in first place!!!
Jack had fun!
 I guess Jim hadn't run enough because he ran alongside Patrick.
