We kicked off Thanksgiving morning by participating in the Turkey Day 5K here in Stewartville. Steve and I took turns pushing Maggie and Bode in a borrowed double jogging stroller. Maggie spent the first mile or so crying because she wanted to run with Jack, a 10-year-old, who was waaaay ahead of us, and Bode took a nap.
After we showered and packed up the car, we drove north to spend a couple days with Steve's parents and brothers. We left 60 degree weather in Stewartville, and arrived in Princeton to 30 degree weather. We witnessed a beautiful snowfall, and enjoyed delicious food and great company.
We came home Saturday evening to have dinner with my parents at Red Lobster (yum!) and sent Asia back with them so she can go hunting in South Dakota with my dad.
Following church this morning, we visited a tree farm in Rochester and cut our chosen Fraser Fir after just five minutes of searching! The afternoon was spent decorating, cleaning, doing laundry, getting ready for the week, and trying to explain to Maggie that it's not Christmas quite yet and Santa will not be coming tonight. It might be a long month.
