Happy Thanksgiving!

We had our first Thanksgiving with Taelyn yesterday, and we had a wonderful day together. Now that we are back in the States for Thanksgiving, we were able to revisit some of our favorite traditions. First, we ran the Turkey Trot 5K. Justin ran the race with a friend, and Taelyn and I ran together at a slower pace. I was able to enter in to the stroller division, though, so I competed against anyone else that was running with a stroller. Taelyn and I ended up in second place behind a male stroller runner because they did not separate males and females in this division, and we won a gift certificate to a running store. Taelyn had a great run; she was talking the entire time, saying "bah, bah, bah" which I think was her way of saying "gobble, gobble, gobble"!

After the race, we headed over to a friend's house where we cooked some of our favorite dishes and played a lot of Wii. Taelyn had fun playing with our friend's dog and of course, eating Thanksgiving dinner with everyone. She sat at the table with all of us and dug her hands into anything in front of her. It wasn't before long, though, that her plate ended up on the floor from all of the excitement.
