We enjoyed doing the Drumstick Dash together again this year on Thanksgiving morning. Last year it was virtual and this year they had a different route due to a lack of police force available for the usual downtown location (a sad sign of the times). I liked the route better because it was flat!!! It was also an out-and-back which allowed Kim, Willow, and I to run, then go back to walk the end with everyone else.
I'm not sure if the kids marched in a line like this the whole time or not ;)
Everyone's a winner!
We came back to our house for Thanksgiving dinner and some relaxed time together. The kids enjoyed some time outside, playing the Wii, and playing Minecraft on the same server (a rare treat for them!).
Owen NEVER dances on the Wii. It was fun and worth documenting when he finally did!!
Nana made some Pinterest-inspired trays!
The whole gang!
Nana and Grandpa watched the kids for a couple nights so Chris and I could drive to Pennsylvania to move down two of Virginia's newest residents.....Gramps and Gramma! It was not an easy decision to leave the town you were both born and raised in, but we're so thankful to have them closer!
The roads got pretty slick the last hour on our drive up. We were thankful in one county that the plow had been by the side we were driving on!
They worked hard to downsize a house-worth of stuff that they'd lived at for 28 years!
One last picture in their house!
We were thankful for busy plows overnight but could've done without the extra Thanksgiving-weekend traffic that made it a 9-hour drive instead of 7.5 ;)
Time for a car wash!
Just enough room for Owen to fit!
When there are still boxes to unpack, you use those boxes to hold your pizza boxes!
Welcome to Virginia, Gramps and Gramma!
The boys each took a turkey leg and did pretty well cleaning it up!
