Happy Thanksgiving

Well, I'm over-due by a week on our Thanksgiving post, but what can you expect when our lives seem crazier than ever. We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving last week, thanks to all the hard work of my mother- and father-in-law (Momma K & Pappa T). We are so incredibly blessed to have them nearby and we love getting to spend our holidays with family.

We started off Thanksgiving morning early by heading up to the Price's house so that Amy and I could run a quick Turkey Trot 10K. This was perfect timing in our 1/2 marathon training schedule and really pushed us to improve our time. We finished the race in under one hour (<10>

(After...soaking wet and happy!)

Thankfully, we had Cos, Tia E and Brian to watch AJ, Nolan & Anabelle so that we could enjoy our run without strollers. The one-on-one ratio worked well and the kiddos seemed to enjoy themselves. Brian was even able to get Anabelle to fall asleep on him.

This Thanksgiving was no different than in years past, other than it was Nolan's first. So, because he hadn't had the opportunity to meet many of the extended Riley Family yet, it was a busy day for him. The food was delicious and we enjoyed seeing so many family members (and friends) that we don't get to see but for a couple times a year. We have sooo many things to be thankful for and really tried to enjoy the day.

This is Sullivan being Thankful for Pop-pop, who definitely made sure that plenty of turkey "accidentally" fell off the carving block!

Nolan is Thankful for his Tia E, who always plays with him and gives him tons of smooches!

Nolan is Thankful for Grandma and all the shiney jewelry she wears. Nolan is always intrigued by Grandma's necklaces and bracelets:)

Nolan is Thankful for his Great-Uncle Kevin....so happy to be held and loved!

And his Great-Uncle Tim too, who made sure to give Nolan lots of Love!

And most of all, Nolan is Thankful to have the best Daddy in the world, who loves him unconditionally and never seems to tire of playing and loving on him. We are so lucky and blessed to have him in our lives every day!
