Happy Thanksgiving 2011







I am thankful for many things, mostly I'm thankful for my husband and children, my family and friends, a free nation, food on the table, a beautiful warm home, the list goes on and on.  Originally we were going to Maryland to be with my childhood best friend and her family.  Cecil and I were also going to run the Turkey Trot with her family.  That was before I realized we now have to pay for 5 people to fly instead of four.  And with Cecil's business trip to Maryland the week before it didn't make much sense this year.  So we hosted Thanksgiving at our house, but before the dinner we decided to run the Cottonwood Heights 5k.  And thanks to Amy for the brilliant idea, we've decided it will now be our new Shern Tradition!  So no matter where we are there's always a 5k on Thanksgiving.  Lydia who is quite a runner will join us next year.  Unfortuantely the boys don't like the stroller anymore, so it will probably be a while before they join us, unless anyone wants to walk it with them.  Thanks mom, dad, Pia, and Ali for watching the little people.  We then came home and got busy getting ready.  Cecil was able to put the outdoor lights up, I finished getting the dinner ready and then the party began!  We missed Uncle Jim who was flying and cute Brandon who was at a soccer tournament in California and were grateful that Wendy's flight got here here just in time for desert!
