Just a BIT behind--THANKSGIVING

I debated whether or not to even TRY to get caught up on this blog, and decided it might be fun to reminisce. A few months back we had a really fun Thanksgiving with Russ's side of the family. His parents were in town and Bryan's family came up from Austin to spend a few days. Plus Jared's family is local now also...so it really was a big Jepson party. We started Thanksgiving morning off with a little Turkey Trot that takes place downtown Dallas each year. Unfortunately, because of the little one on the way, I sat this one out with Kenzie and we just cheered on the boys. :) Russ and Bryan both ran the 8 mile and Ben ran the 5K. They all did really well and I was actually really impressed how fast Russ finished considering he only ran about 2 times before to prepare for it. I hate how he can smoke me with such ease, even after I train for months. :) It was good time. The only downer we ran into was that Kenzie ended up with some wet pants, (due to her refusal to go in a porta potty)and you can tell from from the picture she wasn't too happy about it. :)
















Later that day we went to Jared and Christy's for a big yummy dinner, and spent most of the day there. My brother Steve was in town for work and so we ran over to Jon and Lisa's house later that night where he was to say hello to him and visit for a little bit. It really was a fun day.


The day after Thanksgiving we all headed to Six Flags! It was really fun since we had never been there before! The kids loved it and actually I think the dads loved it just as much! It got pretty cold toward the evening, but everyone still had a good time. Mckenzie LOVED all the rides and pretty much was smiling all day!
