To stick with our fairly new Thanksgiving tradition, we started our turkey day at the Tallahassee Turkey Trot. All four of us "ran" the 5K this year, and it was so much fun. Carter and Hawthorne went off and left me and Ains, but the girls held their own. Even with Ainsley's sniffles, we managed to cross the finish line in just 46 minutes! I was very impressed with her. I gave her a couple short piggy back rides to give her lungs a break when she started coughing, but otherwise she did a great job of skipping, jogging, and speed walking right along with me.
We ate lunch downtown at Shula's, Carter and the kids played football in the yard, and now we're wrapping up the day with pecan pie and UT football.
There are many times throughout the year that I hate being so far away from family, but I love that we've carved out our own little Thanksgiving traditions so far from home. And even though our friends still make fun of us for eating out, there's something quite nice about not having to do the dishes!
