Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving. Mark's younger siblings stayed most of the weekend, along with John's girlfriend -now fiancee- Brooke. On Thursday morning, we had the annual Robison Turkey Trot. Matthew and Hannah were excited to line up for the race, but didn't realize they were supposed to start running. They refused to move, and we had to put them back in the jogging stroller. I successfully managed to farm out all the jobs for dinner, so I personally was in charge of nothing. We started rearranging furniture trying to figure out how to fit everyone in. We decided to take our dining table outside on the deck since the weather was so nice. Unfortunately, our turkey took way longer than we wanted, so by the time we actually ate our dinner, it was a bit chilly outside and getting dark. But we persisted, mostly because it would have been a huge pain to move the table. We had a mixed gathering of my family and Mark's family. Along with his siblings and Brooke, Mark's cousins Matt and Jonathan Dunstan came with their families. On my side, my brothers Benjamin and Aaron brought along their families. It was a fun weekend.
