Thanksgiving is evil…

November 29, 2010 by Elaine

I only say this because I gained a “few” pounds over the holiday.

Yes, those quintessential “holiday heavies”.

Maybe it had something to do with how much pie I ate (and enjoyed). Or the deep dish pizza Friday night. (yeah, I think I sent my carb-deprived body into shock with that one…or two… or three-ish slices…)

So, yeah, LOTS of pie. Even the cheesy kind.

It’s okay though, I got back on the “horse” (treadmill) this a.m. and I’m sure those extra L.B.s will be gone in a jiffy! Ahem.

We had a great Thanksgiving, made it safely to and from Texas, got to see, and even meet new friends (my friends’ baby girls!). We spent some good time with family, including some of Tim’s cousins we hadn’t seen in a while and were able to meet my friend Ellen and her family at the park on a breezy fall day.


The boys had a blast staying with their friends and we had to dig them out of the playroom a couple of times. he he.


And! We even had a chance for a quick photo shoot with my friend Christina! You can see some of her fabulous shots and tell me which one(s) I should put on my Christmas card by going to her blog, Momology. Thanks again Christina, you are THE best! xo

And here are some more photos from Thanksgiving Day…

Hope everyone had as good of a Thanksgiving as we did!

    Mmm, food looks scruptious and K is really chowing down!

    Those are fabulous pictures! I LOVE the one of the kids walking ahead of you and Tim. That is definitely my favorite. But if you want to send out a pic that you can actually see your faces then pick the one where y’all are sitting on the bridge. LOVE THAT.

    So glad you had such a great Thanksgiving!!!

    Wanna hear something crazy? I actually lost 2 pounds over Thanksgiving. I guess that is what happens when you host two Thanksgiving parties at your house one day apart. And then also run a 10k. Good grief!

    Thanksgiving is a carb lovers dream come true. Except when the carbs don’t necessarily agree with you.

    oh that food look soooo good.
    Back on the treadmill, good for you! This exercise thing is now a habit, doesn’t feel great!

    I LOVE the one of you guys sitting on the bridge with Baby K walking towards the camera!

    I’m so off of carbs, done.

    I am so glad you got to come home to the fabulous Lone Star State for Thanksgiving! I only wish I could have seen you while you were here! We need to start planning our next meetup girl! I miss you 🙂

    It’s a shame Baby K is not worshipped enough by her older brothers – LOVE that bunkbed shot!!

    Off to check out the shots…

    Not that you and Tim don’t look smokin’ hot, but I adore the shot where the kiddos are in the foreground and you guys are blurred in the back.

    LOVE IT

    And that one where the boys are walking towards the camera, where B man has his hand on Little G’s shoulder, I actually teared up. All too sweet.

    Hi friend!! Yay for a holiday and trip full of wonderful memories! I say the extra poundage is tangible proof of the good time you had. ;o) You guys are the bestest. And I’m so happy to have been able to get together, and thrilled you love the photos!

    Looks and sounds like a great time.

    And, yes, the lbs will melt right off.
