On November 23rd, we kicked off the holiday weekend by celebrating Kensley's 3rd Birthday! We had some awesome "gooey Chicken" for dinner (chicken stuffed with cheese and ham), and plenty of cake and ice cream! The look on the birthday girls face the whole night, was priceless! Her and her super mom also had some amazing personal touches that made this birthday party special and unique. Including our placemats, which were decorated by Kensley, and laminated by her teacher mom for us to enjoy for years to come!
We kicked off Thanksgiving with the second annual "Frank Trot." This is our take on the Turkey trot. Last year, when we attempted to run a 5k outside near my parents house, it was far too frigid, so instead we opted to run on the treadmill in my parents basement...thus the Frank trot emerged. This year, however, given it was almost 60 degrees and sunny on Thanksgiving morning, we opted for an outside run...which went mostly okay except when Piper decided to go on her own trot and trotted right out of her collar and leash...I'm most thankful this thanksgiving that it was at that exact moment that she also had to go to the bathroom, and was easy to catch...crisis averted. The rest of the day we spent with family, starting with the Glass family in Osseo and followed by the Harper family in Farmington. Both delicious meals...which we are still working off at the gym!
Finally, we wrapped up the weekend with my favorite time of the year....DECORATING for Christmas! All in all, it was a great kick off to the holiday season, and we look forward to time spent with family and friends in the coming weeks!
