Thanksgiving

Call us crazy, but 7 of us in the Mabry gang got up early on Thanksgiving morning to run the famous Dallas Turkey Trot. Some were excited about it, and others had to have their arms twisted, and yet others graciously volunteered to stay home with the smaller kids who weren't able to go. Here we are with our fake smiles at 7:15 in the morning just before we headed downtown. The Trot has 2 parts - the 8 mile race or the 3 mile fun-run. We opted for the fun-run and so did close to another 31,000 people!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY! Those of us who wanted to run had trouble, because of the sheer amount of people, plus dogs, and strollers are allowed in this race, so as you can imagine, there weren't many serious runners in this crowd. It was super fun though, and we all crossed the finish line! I think we will make it a tradition on the Mabry Thanksgiving Years.

Then we came home to the wonderful smells of a Turkey Feast deliciously prepared by Mom. It was fabulous, as always, and tasted really good since we had actually worked up an appetite!

Mom has a tradition of making cookies with the kids on every holiday,

so here are the Turkey Cookies!
