Thanksgiving 2011

It's hard to believe Thanksgiving weekend is over and done. Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday. I feel like it is the last holiday that hasn't been overly commercialized. Sure, there's talk of Black Friday deals and shopping weekend, but Thanksgiving Day is a day of food, family, and reflection for all that we have to be thankful for. It's the perfect time to pause and reflect on our many blessings before the craziness of Christmas sets in.

We headed to Sacramento to walk with Heather and her family in the Race for the Hungry in the morning. It was rainy and we weren't sure what to expect. But, it was a great walk full of nice people and beautiful scenery thru the Fabulous 40s and the Sac State campus.

Braving the rain. Sara stayed warm and dry

After the race, we headed up to Roseville to my brother's house. Sara had a blast playing with her cousins and was asleep before we reached the main road.
