Thanksgiving 2010 With the Picketts!!!

There are so many words that can describe our trip to Arizona for Thanksgiving, Wonderful, fun, laughter, shock and awe (you would understand if you were there). We had such a great time. Girls went shopping, boys went golfing and shooting, went to movies, Arizona Zoo, Geicko Grill, Temple Christmas Lights, Pei Wei's, ran a 10k and spent some quality time with Penni and her family. It was sooo good to be with family for the Holidays. We have not spent anytime with the family for the Holidays since we moved to Texas 3 years ago!! Way to long. Thank You to Penni and her family for making it so fun and worth the 14 hour trip one way. We were also able to enjoy some fun times with the Mumford Family, I am sure they had a great time!!! With a house full of girls Carson sure enjoyed their boys!! It was a great relief to the girls I'm sure. Also I trained really hard to run the 2 mile with Kristine and followed that with the 10k. 8.2 miles total. It was my first organized run. It was so fun! Ben was such a support and want to Thank him for that. How far I have come since cancer. I felt a little emotional when I completed the race. I couldn't even walk 50 feet and not be extremely tired and have to lay down and here I am a year n a half later and I'm running 8.2 miles!! I am going to now train for a half marathon at the end of January in Austin!! Enjoy our pics from our Thanksgiving Trip!!
