Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays at the Walton household. Not too much stress(I guess that will change when I am the mom, so I should enjoy it) and just great time with family. This year we started out our day with the traditional Cottonwood Heights Thanksgiving Day 5k. Over 1,700 people did it this year. Craziness. That many people running through a neighborhood up by Brighton High School. I did it with my friend from work, Caitlin, and Kade. He ran this race pretty fast at 28 minutes. I got these cramps that I get every now and then, that I can't run through but they go away after the first 3 miles. Doesn't exactly work when you are only going 3 miles. I ran through those as best as a I could and finished at 32 minutes. Still under an 11 minute mile even with the cramps. Small victories for me. I am turtle slow.
We ran into my best friend Maddi and her mom Stori. I was so close to wearing the same top as Maddi...Would have been funny...
Caitlin and I looking sexy. We got a ribbon because we beat the councilman. Hey, any gratification I can take, I will.
I also ran into my cousin Mike and my cousin Jon's wife. I tell ya, the C.Wood Heights 5 k is where it's at. Gotta love Mike's Movember stache.
Later in the day we went over to my parentals. This year, we ordered Marie Callender's, not knowing if we were going to be eating it at LDS hospital or not. Well, James has yet to show himself :( I keep telling James I miss him. I know I have technically never met him, but it seems to be the first thing that comes out when I talk to him. I felt him the other day and he moved just for me. Come out baby!!!

In the evening, we went over to Kade's Grandma Anderson's and played games. We had a blast. We kept getting really bad letters, but we made lemonade with lemons and killed the second round winning everybody else by 40 points. Those Z's are worth a lot of points.
Friday, I was lucky enough to have the day off. I went to the last game of the season with my friend Sara. It was a super sad game. We had a lot of our players get hurt and we missed a lot of FG's. :( Also, Colorado is an obnoxious team. Way way cocky and not the most ethical. I got a CU sweatshirt when I was in Colorado for a SOFT conference, Pre-PAC 12. Contemplating burning that sweatshirt!
Injury on the field. Player was taken to the hospital.
Wait, we might tie the game. We just have to get a 48 yard field goal!!
Boo...... Didn't get it.
After the game, Kade and I surprised Dana for his birthday and showed up at the Grand America Hotel where him and Michele were staying. Michele had us pick up PF Chang's and we sat in a big suite and had dinner, cake, and played Apples to Apples. Fun night. Happy 60th birthday Dana. You don't act or look a day over 40.
Saturday, Kade and I ran a bijillion errands, so at night we decided we would do our traditional put up the tree and watch Elf and Christmas Story. It was a great night. We don't have chill nights that often so it was nice. Here is the final product.
Don't you love Zoey's little stocking?
Merry Christmas season everyone!! Now we head into the craziness... :)
