Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving 2024 was a bit different.  Well for starters, my mom is gone.  So she wasn't here to celebrate with this year.  We also aren't running cross country this season so we didn't have a turkey trot to attend.  So, I made my own turkey trot and had everyone come out and walk or run or bike around the neighborhood.  I pushed Craig to the max and he ran the three and a half laps around the neighborhood for his 3.14 mile turkey trot.  We ate at Craig and Blair's house this year.  Nolen at nothing and Edward ate very little because they both do not like thanksgiving food.  I like the desserts so I saved room to eat a lot of pie! Stephen had to work at 4:00 so we ate and played a fun game of Aquire.  I lost.  Stephen was able to come home from work and take a two hour break.  So we watched a show together and just relaxed.  It was a very nice way to spend a holiday.  I miss my mom and her laugh.  Her smile.  Her energy.  My life will never be the same.  

I made sugar cookies and the boys decorated them.  We took them to our neighbors as a gift for the holiday.

Nolen hates thanksgiving food so I took him to circle K to pick out some food he wanted to eat.  Looks like my kind of dinner! We also watched space balls together.  I have never actually seen the show. 

Saturday, Craig called in to get a tour of Stephen's work.  We picked up a bunch of bagels and brought them in for his coworkers.  Stephen gave us a tour and we got to meet a lot of his coworkers for the first time in more than 16 years of working in Albuquerque.

Blair and I went black Friday shopping in our matching outfits!!  It was so fun and hilarious.
