Traditionally Untraditional

Each year for about the past 5 or 6 years the men in our family have a tradition of running 7-13 miles on Thanksgiving morning.  I don't know why they do this...they just do?  This year good ole SS hosted it's very first Turkey Trot in town!  It was a great idea since most people drive to the DFW area otherwise and it raised money for a great cause!  So...my family being the runners that they are thought it would be a great idea for all of us to run, and we did!  Here is me and my fam at the end of the race, going strong!

Woo-hoo!  Crowd's cheering us in!

We are SO close to the finish!

We are pumped!

But...here's what actually happened.  Literally everyone in my family runs but me. So...my SIX year old nephew and mom beat me....

Way to go guys

My Dad and sis beat me....they will be running the Houston half marathon coming soon!

And that pic of Colby running with me earlier...he had already finished.  He was just circling back around to help me push the stroller!!!  He and my brother in law will be running the Whiterock FULL marathon next weekend! So yes, I am not a runner...at all...it's just not my thing.  I am a great cheerleader though and Baylor is a great tag along! :)

After our little "trot" this morning we headed over to our next untraditional tradition of stuffing our faces at Texas de Brazil.  It is sooooo soooo sooo good!

My sis, bro, and nephew...who all beat me in the Turkey Trot!

My very old parents, KIDDING, who also beat me!

And my fam who we all finshed out the trot together...some of us more than once...

You can tell we don't eat "fancy" often...

Baylor thought the white linen cloth was for playing peek-a-boo!

Sooo much food she says!

She ate herself into a coma

Our final Thanksgiving tradition of the day. Going to Bass Pro to take a family picture with Santa!

Baylor didn't even cry!  Yay!  She didn't smile either, BUT she didn't cry!

I am thankful for all of my blessings both big and small and for a God who loves me despite myself!
