Thanksgiving

I realize that it is January and I am just now writing about Thanksgiving.  Let's just say I am not the best blogger.... but I am hoping to get caught up!

This was our first holiday spent away from our families.  Usually for Thanksgiving we spend several days in Meridian splitting time between both of our families.  So, I was a little sad about spending this holiday apart.  Thankfully John and I had friends to celebrate with here and we ended up having a very busy weekend.

We ran in the "Freedom Trail 5k" on Thanksgiving morning.  This was not your typical 5k.  We met our friends Adam and Margaret, along with about 15 other people at the Boston Common that morning.  We ran along the freedom trail which goes all through the city.  Our guide stopped us along the way with bits of history, facts, etc.  Among the things we saw were Paul Revere's home,  where the Boston Massacre took place, the USS Constitution, the Old North Church, and several graves of famous Americans.  Here are a few pics from our run:

After the run we had a relaxing afternoon and I started doing some cooking.  John started the turkey the night before and it was looking perfect! I took a nap and then started on the dressing and squash casserole.  Adam and Margaret came over for dinner and brought some side dishes and dessert.  We had quite the feast for 4 people! Everything turned out delicious!!  Here are pictures of our food and table:

We had a wonderful day and realized we have so much to be thankful for!
