Thanksgiving 2015

This Thanksgiving was filled with friends and so much fun!

We started off our day at the Ballantyne Turkey Dash.  It was the first time Patrick and Finnegan ran as well, in the one mile kids run.  They did great, they stuck together the whole time and finished strong. 
After the boys were finished, Rebecca and I ran the 4 miler together, with Turkey hats and all!
We were so lucky to have Uncle Ralph with us for the holiday. After we were home from the races, all the guys went outside, to play with a giant balloon Ralph brought, bike, scoot and enjoy the beautiful day.
The boys helped me with our Thanksgiving table.  They made place cards for all our guests, and inside each one they wrote a reason they are thankful for that person.  It made for such a special dinner, and everyone enjoyed reading and sharing what the boys wrote.
We started a new tradition this year.  Finnegan worked for 2 weeks on a Thanksgiving Piñata. It looked awesome and was filled with fun little toys for the boys to enjoy.  We kicked off our Thanksgiving Dinner with the boys smashing this amazing turkey!
Dinner was great and we were so happy to have Nannie, PopPop, Christine and Pierre join in our special holiday.  The "icing on the cake" was the special desserts made by Finnegan.  This Cinnamon Vanilla buttercream cake was out of this world!
We are so thankful for our family and our wonderful friends.
