Thanksgiving in Grand Rapids
Instead of heading west this year for Thanksgiving, my entire family flew back to Michigan to celebrate the holiday is Steve and Jen's new home. They just finished building it this summer and have only been living there for a few months now, so we got to break it in! :)

The whole crew was there...and while I had a ton of fun running in a balmy 30F with 20F windchill, overcast skies, and snow flurries, this trip confirmed that I do not belong in Michigan winters any more. However, despite the coldness, I had a lot of fun hanging out with my family, relaxing, and eating good food!

Steve and his first ever turkey...it was quite a sight to watch him transfer it to the turkey platter...and carve it...but he did an excellent job cooking it (with a little help from dad).

And Ms. Martha Stewart herself...Jen has a knack for decorations and did an awesome job with our dinner table...actually, she is better than Martha Stewart if you ask me! If you look closely you see little turkeys with chocolate balls in them...those were delicious...but not as good as the stuffing, rolls, and pies! :)
