Thanksgiving, a little late...

No pictures were taken, so my words will have to provide your mental picture of the Parker's Thanksgiving 2009!

It was a great day. It started with a run for me with my running partner, Davina. It was a beautiful morning, and a energizing way to start a lazy day. Next on the agenda was an annual Cascade Turkey Bowl football game. The exciting thing about this year was that Jack got to play. He got to snap the ball, and tackle his friend that is the same age. Noah's mom and I stood on the sidelines smiling and laughing at the two of them tackle/wrestling each other the whole game. No one was hurt, and a good time was had by all there!

We came home to clean up, have a long relaxing nap, and the time for turkey dinner. Our friends, the Perrets, came over for a quiet dinner. The food was delicious, and the kids were great. For all the time it takes to prepare the dinner, we ate in record time. We ended the evening with kids in bed and the adults relaxing in front of a movie.

It was a quiet holiday. Family was missed, but we enjoyed friends.

We hope you all had a good time with family/friends and were able to reflect on what you are thankful for this holiday season.

Sounds like a PERFECT Thanksgiving day....much like we used to have in Texas. Relaxing and time for being thankful.
