Thanksgiving ’09

by runeatrepeat on November 27, 2009

I started the day with a 6 miler. My legs are tired from running four days in a row, but I wanted to get in some good mileage before all the eats!

Breakfast was oat bran. I needed something warm after a cold run!IMG 2732 300x225 Thanksgiving 09

I made the whole Thanksgiving spread with the help of my mom. This was our first time ever doing it like this. Normally we have T-day with my whole Mexican fam and everyone brings their specialty. I usually make the cornbread casserole and help my mom with the mashed potatoes. But this year I made turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cornbread casserole, and green beans! We were super busy all morning!

Here is my plate – it’s packed!!! I had some of everything to make sure it tasted good. Well, it did icon smile Thanksgiving 09 IMG 2733 300x225 Thanksgiving 09

Do you like our bikes in the background? We are so fancy in our little apartment….IMG 2739 300x225 Thanksgiving 09

We also enjoyed some Rotta Wine with the meal. I feel like such a rookie drinking white wine all the time, but I love it!IMG 2743 225x300 Thanksgiving 09

After eating around 3pm my mom and I took a long walk. It was perfect to let our food settle and make room for seconds.IMG 2746 225x300 Thanksgiving 09IMG 2747 225x300 Thanksgiving 09

When we got back I had a little lot more…IMG 2748 300x225 Thanksgiving 09

And dessert while watching movies with the family. x2 including bites…IMG 2751 300x225 Thanksgiving 09

I overdid it with bites while cooking and with leftovers icon sad Thanksgiving 09 And that made me overly full. Boo. I am not going to dwell on it and just brush my teeth for tonight. Tomorrow is a new day (and thankfully one that doesn’t revolve around food).

I hope you all had a great day icon smile Thanksgiving 09 I have so much to be thankful for, this has been the most amazing and crazy year… Thank you God.
