Thanksgiving Recap

Not a very P.C. picture, I know.
Max had fun at his pow wow at school on Monday. Totally got us in the Thanksgiving mood.






Thanksgiving was great this year. I completed my first 5K (running quite a bit of it!). I was proud of myself that I actually set and met a goal. Ridiculous that it's that big of deal to me, but I have a tendency to let myself give up waaaaaaaay too often.

Then I came home and we cleaned up the house so it's ready to put up Christmas decorations tomorrow. - After Bryson's games...
So excited!

And THEN, we had to prepare the stuffing (Thanks Alysha for the recipe! It was a hit.) and green bean casserole for dinner, and get to John's family for dinner by 1.

We had a GREAT time out there. Tons of food and retelling of the same stories - although this year there was a new story that I'm sure will live on in LaMunyon lore.

Then cute grandma Joanie pulled out the gingerbread houses for the kids to make. Quite a project. The kids (& grownups) had lots of fun decorating and eating ourselves sick on all of the candy and icing. The end results ended up really cute. A little overdone, but it's hard to get your kids to understand the concept of "less is more" when they're faced with bowls full of candy decor...


So much to be grateful for in our lives. So much love and laughter. So very many blessings.

We're so excited to now turn our thoughts to Christmas and the (hopefully) magical season that it is...
