Thanksgiving 2013

This Thanksgiving we spent in El Paso. It was relaxing, delicious, full of laughter, food, friends, parties, etc. etc. etc. Coming home for me really is a blessing and I'm thankful I have the boys around--otherwise I don't know if my parents would like me going up there as often as I do. 

Jack and I woke up extra early Thanksgiving Day and ran in the Iron Turkey 5K. A family friend of ours asked us to do it and we happily obliged. Tutu and all ;). 

 After that we were STARVING and ready for food. We didn't end up eating until after Jackson napped in the afternoon but it was well worth the wait....

 My best friend Sophia (Jackson's godmother) and her husband, Gustavo joined us for a little while and the boys were happy to have them around. Can't you tell? I swear they love you Sof :).

 While James didn't get to eat any of the food, he said it smelled delicious and happily played next to us as we ate. For some reason Jackson wasn't as interested in eating (which is strange for this lion cub because he loves food) and was being a bit grumpy.

Eventually he perked up though, ate his brussel sprouts, green beans and turkey like an angel and happily played until bed time. I'm thinking the pie at the end of this course was why he turned his act around. Whatever works though right?

And straight to bed we ALL went too, even the dogs! That turkey made us all soooo tired. The boys went down early and we were right behind them. Until next year turkey!
