Grilled Turkeys, Turkey Trots, and Thanksgiving 2013

The week before Thanksgiving, Taber's team had their own little Thanksgiving Feast at work. Everyone brought potluck and Taber, being the stud that he is, volunteered to cook the turkey. He got up at the crack of dawn to grill that sucker up.  I was impressed.

There were a few leftovers but they were quickly devoured by the wild animals back at home. 

The day before Thanksgiving, the Hanks fam came up to spend the rest of the week with us.

Thanksgiving morning Taber and Kevin braved the frigid cold to run a 4 mile turkey trot. 

They both kicked butt and clocked some pretty fast times.

Meanwhile Naomi and I were back at home cooking for the feast we would have with some friends later that afternoon. 


We joined up with 3 other families and a pair of missionaries for Thanksgiving dinner.

 There was a ton of delicious food and we stuffed ourselves silly.

 Always fun to share Thanksgiving with friends. 

 The rest of the week was spent having fun with Hanks fam back at home. The girls gave each other makeovers and auntie Naomi was even game enough to let them do her make up and nails. 

Naomi and I went Black Friday shopping which was hugely successful

 We also got a babysitter and went to see Catching Fire. It was awesome!

 And the girls had a blast playing the wii and just being cute cousins together. 
All in all it was a great holiday and such a blessing to have family close by to share it with.

Haha! That was such a fun visit! My only wish is that we could have tried some of Taber's famous Turkey...neither of us has EVER had any!
