So for the first time EVER in 35 years I had Thanksgiving without my
parents. I cooked everything by myself and it was delicious! While I
enjoyed being with my family I really missed Mom and Dad too. The kids
even said, "Mommy the food tastes like Thanksgiving but it doesn't fee
like it without Grandma and Grandpa."
Break my heart why don't they.
We
started our own Turkey Day tradition. It began on Wednesday when Em
and I made pies than Tyson made the traditional Grace "tomorrow salad"
all by himself. Then on Thanksgiving morning we all got up bright and
early and Tyson and I ran the Edmond Turkey Trot 5k. After burning some
calories, we came back and finished preparing lunch. We all ate, went
for a walk around the neighborhood then came home and played an exciting
game of Monopoly while eating dessert.

Buddy's favorite dish at Thanksgiving has been "tomorrow salad." So this year I let him make it. He did all of the chopping and mixing.

Go Buddy Go!!!
He did it! And I couldn't be more proud! I didn't run my first 5K till I was 33, he's 25 years ahead of me. Now it was time for some tasty turkey and lots of yummy sides!

The kids thought it was pretty cool that I let them use my good wedding china and crystal stemware.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Lucas'!
