Grateful for the Turkey Trot… …and the over five hundred people who showed up.…and to meet some very kind blog readers (wish I had taken pictures…). SO grateful Lu made it run/walking for the whole “fun run” part. …and for her handsome dad. …and that the rest of the kids ran their little hearts out too. Grateful we could help raise money for AZ Brain Food. …and for all the hard work these guys did to put it together.(along with one more friend who was working so hard he wasn’t around for the picture 😉 Grateful we could finish our “thankful tree.” Grateful for in-laws who took such good care of us. …and lots of laughing at the dinner table heavy-laden with good food. And, of course, so grateful for Thanksgiving football traditions with cousins in the slanting desert sun. And a sister-in-law who will whip out an awesome orange backdrop to catch shots like this to finish off the evening. So grateful for a day to celebrate the power of gratitude.
