Not yo mama's thanksgiving

A thanksgiving retrospect, if you will.

My year started off with resolutions, goals, and promises. It ended unexpectedly, unforgettably.

This year for thanksgiving, my family and I decided to actually give thanks. And by give thanks I don't mean, gather round the table and indulge in a lavish meal. I mean GIVE thanks.

My mom and I decided to run the turkey trot for charity and donate our thanksgiving meal to the local food pantry.

So. Early morning came. And despite the chill, the day was gorgeous. My mom and I chatted while we trot, gave our thanks and went home to enjoy pizza and wine- milkshakes for the kids.

It was a wonderfully easy, stress free, and still delicious holiday. And I didn't have to do any cooking or dishes. Yep. I think we have a new thanksgiving tradition.

How was your thanksgiving? Hope you enjoyed all the dirty dishes.

Happy Holidays,
From WI, with love-
