We spent Thanksgiving this year in town with the whole Hafen family. We started out the day with the annual Turkey Trot. This is very serious, as you can see by line up. Kimball and Jack were determined to run around with their cousins, alas, it wasn't meant to be. Jason was also ready to run, but before he could even make it around once, Kimball decided she needed her dad to cheer her up, when she couldn't keep up with the older cousins. I had a very leisurely stroll with Danny in the stroller, and even picked up a few stragglers during my one lap.
Runners, take your mark.... I can't remember who won, but it was a good race.
Tod decided to hop out of the stroller and make a run for the finish.
After the trot, we got right to work with some delicious pumpkin cookies.
And this lovely bird, is Jason's turkey. It was as delicious as it looks, and we even managed to make gravy from the drippings, after a few phone consultations w/ our cooking experts, thanks MOM.
It was a fabulous Thanksgiving w/ over 80 Hafens. There are so many of us that we had to meet at a church building. After dinner, there was very fun game of bingo. It's always fun to catch up w/ family members that we don't get to chat with very often.
And now, here's Jack. He's been choosing some very interesting seating for himself lately. Here's a few I was able to capture on camera.
And now that Thanksgiving is over, the Christmas decorations came out. As Jack is so kind to display.

That puts new meaning to the phrase "Jack in a box"!
