Thankful for Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving crew (Rachel is taking the picture)

 This was an AWESOME Thanksgiving.  It started the Sunday before because Auntie Ray Ray came to town.  The girls were so excited for her to get here.  They wanted to call her about every five minutes.  Sarah called and said things like, "Hurry Auntie Ray Ray, I don't want you to starve!"  Libby called and said things like, "If you don't get here in 45 minutes, you are fired and you have to drive all the way back to Florida!"
When she got here, they told her joke after joke.  Libby was still honing her skills with the knock knock jokes.  She kept forgetting to wait for Rachel to say "Boo Who?" and just saying the whole thing.  Then, after Libby told an actual joke, like "Who likes debates? say who....Da fishes!" Sarah would follow up with things like "Who likes bananas?  say who....monkeys!"  It was hysterical.
Anyway, we had a blast with Auntie Ray Ray.  We will be forever thankful to the Forgotten Carols for giving her a work layover in Seattle for 4 days.  Anyway, here are some of the main events.

I organized a Turkey Trot at my gym.  These 2 amazing pilgrims ran it with me!

Libby had a rough time being cold.  Maybe because she was sipping a cold smoothie and maybe because she left her coat in the car.

Maren and the cheater (Libby convinced Rachel to cheat and cut off 2 different chunks of the route)

Libby was in LOVE with the pies.  She actually ate about 4 pieces.  Amazing.
