Thanksgiving was a Mary Poppin's "Practically Perfect in Every Way" Kind of Day! The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade was missing a few viewers, the crew on the left (and about 10,000 others) were busy running the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot. Actually, I was just the Mom Sherpa, holding the bag of extra gear (sweatpants, cell phones, waters).
The Turkey Trot is a perfect morning prelude to an afternoon of massive feasting! We had one of our best feasts ever joining the Holland family! You can't go wrong when Julie's Mom, Gladys, is involved and in the kitchen! She's an amazing cook (as well as Julie) so everything was wonderful food wise. This might be the first year Paige's Cranberry Sauce had some competition; but Paige is still convinced that hers is the best!
Next on the schedule: A Bunco Tournament! Fun for All Ages! Bunco's a riot because it is entirely based on luck but while you're playing you're convinced that some skill set can actually give you a boost. Connor Holland claims you need enthusiasm to be victorious and I'm sure Andie, 1st Place Thanksgiving Bunco Winner, would agree! Andie is loving the zebra snuggli prize; it could not have found a better home!
Finally, we headed off to our traditional Thanksgiving Movie Night, this year we saw The Blindside. It's a touching movie, especially since it's based on a true story, and a great performance by Sandra Bullock.
Family, Friends, Feasting, and Fun! Yep, a "practically perfect" day! Oh, yes, and Fast! (the speed kind, not going-without-food). The Turkey Trot Race Results: Paige Knudsen #1 (20-24 year female) and Andie Knudsen #1 (25-29 year female). Both winners in their age groups! Now that took some serious Trotting!
