Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! What started out as great quickly went sour for us. It was our first year hosting the holiday in our new house and with 17 people total, we were looking forward to the challenge. Mom came in on Tuesday night and took care of Madelyn Wednesday while Jaosn and I went to work for a few hours and got some last minute errands done. Wednesday afternoon Stephanie, Ashley and the kids arrived. Madelyn had a blast with Olivia, Will and Georgia - I think she is going to be a great big sister!
I ran the 8 mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving and actually had a great time of 1 hour and 12 minutes and felt great the whole time. Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful thanks to my fabulous husband who worked his magic in the kitchen. We had a slight mishap with one of our friends kids after dinner but other than that it was great. Friday we headed to Allen outlets and got some Xmas shopping done and then it hit later that night...
Steph and I ended up getting violently ill and were in bed the rest of the weekend. They left Sunday afternoon and drove home to KC (somehow). My mom was suppose to leave Sunday but came down with the same thing and didnt get out until today. It was probably the worst illness I have ever had and even worse being pregnant. I think it may take a full week for me to recover and even think about running again.
We are going to put up our tree this coming weekend - we have and extremely busy weekend planned. Madelyn will have her favorite teacher babysit on Friday while Jason and I have a much needed date night in Dallas. And Sunday in between jewlery shows and putting up the tree we are going to take Madelyn through the neighborhood to look at lights.
I will post some Thanksgiving pictures shortly...I hope everyone had a great holiday!
