Turkey Trot and Thanksgiving




Every year the Wilson's participate in the Fort Worth Turkey Trot. Normally, Jammie and Our Mother walk the 5k and Becky and I run the 10k. I missed out last year because we celebrated Thanksgiving in Laredo (but I think I still went out to run). This year Becky and I both walked the 5k. Emma Lu and I have been walking, so this was suitable for us. Becky tore a muscle in her back and has really cut back her workouts. So, this year, the Wilson girls crossed the finish line together. James and Shane ran the 5k-it was cold and they wanted to get to the coffee faster.



After the Turkey Trot, James and I ate brunch over at Becky's house. We made it back before the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and we were able to wave to Santa. Becky and I then tortured the boys by postponing the start of football - yes, we watched the Dog Show and the Australian Sheppard won Best of Show. This is exciting because Daisy's momma was an Aust. Sheppard.


We had dinner at Becky's house. Prior to dinner there were huge snowflakes falling from the sky in Bedford! James and Matt fried a turkey and Becky oven roasted a turkey. I brought the cranberry sauce, made sweet potatoes and Polish Kolaches (the Lukaszewski recipe). Everyone else (our family and Matt's family) brought their selection of dishes, so there was a variety for the Thanksgiving dinner.


Can you see the snow?
