This year we decided to carry on the Davis family tradition and go to a Turkey Trot, but since we had no one to go and support I actually had to step up to the plate and run in the Turkey Trot!
(that's me in the front with all the "serious" runners...they kicked me to the back were I belong after my picture was taken)
(this is Coby giving me some advice before my big run...he is so funny!)
And were off!!!
It was a really nice run, I enjoyed running through the beautiful park, I saw a few deer and the weather was PERFECT! But the best part about it was running to the finish line and seeing my "CHEER SQUAD" on the side lines!!! Their faces were priceless, you would have thought I was running in the Olympics!
After that we headed home to start cooking....and when I say "we" you all know I mean "ME"..right?
My master piece...this had to of been the "BEST" turkey I have ever had...not to toot my own horn but seriously it was FANTASTIC!!!! The secret is to brine your turkey...it makes it so moist and juicy! DELISIOUSO
When it finally came time to sit down and eat Bryson said "WOW Mom this is a FEAST!"
I'm so glad he called it that since "dinner" doesn't take two days to prepare!!
It was so nice to just sit down with our "little" family and laugh, and talk. My favorite part of dinner was when we all said something that we were grateful for, Coby was thankful for Mommy,Daddy, brother, and Tanner. Bryson was grateful for his family. And Tanner I'm sure was thankful for his family too and the FOOD...that kid is always eating! What a wonderful holiday to be able to sit and reflect on all the blessings we have in our lives. We really are so blessed and I am so thankful for my sweet little family.
(Bryson wanted to take our picture...after a few tries he finally got a picture with our heads in the phrame;)

Too bad you weren't here so we could've run the Turkey Trot together!! I saw your fam at the trot. Misty and Matt ran it and did so good! I saw Troy at the front before the race. It's always fun to see the Davis fam. Your running pics are cool! Ok, that turkey looks like it's right out of a magazine. Perfect! You'll have to share your secrets with me. Your table setting is so cute! Glad you had a fun day!
WOW!! I'm impressed. First a run and then cooking your own turkey and it turning out.!!! SO fun.

What a fun Thanksgiving you had!!! I am impressed that you cooked a turkey by yourself for just your family!! I haven't ever made one without my mom! I guess I am a wimp!
