A Quiet Thanksgiving

This was our first year that we made no plans for Thanksgiving, and I must say that it was so nice to just be able to relax at home and not have to worry about doing anything, cooking anything, hosting anyone, or going anywhere.  Our little family had such a chill day.  We watched the parade, went for a run, went out for a nice brunch, watched football/Christmas movies, started decorating the house, and finished off the day by visiting with some friends and watching more football.

My running partner---obviously she didn't burn off any pre-turkery calories.

Someone is a little upset over how the game ended.

And now on to the Christmas festivities!!

"Let's get to baking, Mom! I'm ready for Christmas cookies!"

following in the footsteps of my mother---a picture every year of putting our new ornament on the tree.

We had such a fun day together as we were constantly reminded of all the things we have to be thankful for---we have each other, our families, our friends, our health, our new home, and so much more!
