Thanksgiving ’09
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!
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 
Do you like our bikes in the background? We are so fancy in our little apartment….
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!
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.
When we got back I had a little lot more…
And dessert while watching movies with the family. x2 including bites…
I overdid it with bites while cooking and with leftovers 
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 I have so much to be thankful for, this has been the most amazing and crazy year… Thank you God.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your Thanksgiving! Have a good one
