Friday Fill In the Blank + Days of Gratitude Day 19

As always, thanks to Lauren at the little things we do for the blanks!

1. My Thanksgiving this year will include: probably an early morning "Turkey Trot" with my running ladies, cooking a bit with Isaac, dinner with my family (smaller group this year) & then another dinner with our friends the Yearby's & their family.  Followed by the annual PYMP movie, casino trip, & late night Black Friday Shopping!

2. My favorite Thanksgiving was: my immediate family used to spend Thanksgiving in Mexico - that was always fun, to get away from the dreary Oregon weather and relax in 85+ degree weather!

3. My signature Thanksgiving dish is: hmm...tough, I haven't had to actually make one dish my staple.  But I'm sure when the time comes, I'll take over the stuffing from my mom & the mashed potatoes. She has a killer recipe!
4. My favorite Thanksgiving food is: without a doubt it's my mom's mashed potatoes & stuffing.  My aunt also makes a ridiculous "Death by Chocolate" dessert, it's unreal!

5. Thanksgiving free association! family, turkey & ham, roasted garlic, mashed potatoes, family games, laughter, LONG days, coffee & black Friday preparation

6. Thanksgiving is: one of my most favorite holidays, I love being with friends & family spending time together with no real expectations except to eat, laugh and reminisce.
7. I am thankful for: health, family, my husband, extended family,  great friends whom I trust, laughing over silly things with my family & friends, game nights, warm sweaters & sweatshirts, and planning fun adventures

Day 19: Today I am thankful for lunch with two of my greatest friends - $1 tacos, nothing beats that & some girl talk!

  3. Sounds like you are going to have a fun Thanksgiving! I have always wanted to run in a race on Thanksgiving and then stuff my face afterward :)
