thanksgiving 2017

 This Thanksgiving we were going to Detroit to spend the holiday with two of my brothers and my parents.  We were all so excited.  Unfortunately when we were about 3 hours from Detroit, my brother called to tell me they had the stomach flu.  We had a bunch of Christmas presents in the back of the car that could not be shipped.  We didn't want to bring the girls home throwing up in the car so we decided to stop and see Michael and drop off the gifts and then head home.  It was a crazy, unplanned adventure, but sometimes life doesn't go as planned!!  We made the most of it and the girls were troopers! 

The girls were excited that we would be home for Thanksgiving afterall because one of our very favorite things is the Give 'n Gobble 5k!  Even though we got home at 2:30 am, the girls were up ready to chase a turkey at 7!  We hurried and got ready and headed to downtown! Love, love, love our town!  We quickly signed all 3 up to chase the turkey and Heidi wanted to run the mile.  Heidi helped Savanna and Caimbree chase the turkey when it was there turn because they were nervous to do it alone.  Have I mentioned that she is the best big sister ever??  She ran the mile in just over 10 minutes!  She was the first in her age group and we were so proud of her!

After the race we went to Kroger and grabbed everything we would need to make a Thanksgiving feast.  It turned out great and we had a wonderful and relaxing day....even if it wasn't the one we had planned!
