A Thanksgiving to be Thankful For

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, starting out with family and friends doing our own 5K Turkey Trot down on the bike path. . .had to make sure we had plenty of room for our dinner.
My parents and Brad's parents have been great friends for over 35 years so it was so much fun to see great friends with their great grandchildren.
Thanksgiving dinner was a delight, with lots to eat and love and friendship to be thankful for.
Family, friends, food and fun make this holiday my favorite of the year.
What better way to clean off after a heroic attempt to eat a great dinner. The kids love this big bathtub.
On Black Friday, we decided to forgo shopping and go to the Griffith Observatory and take the 3 mile hike to the top of Mt. Hollywood. This picture accurately depicts "Hooray for Hollywood!"
Cousins and sisters make the best friends in the world! What a great hike and view of Los Angeles from the top of the mountain.
Megster always does the best job getting everything prepared to do the gingerbread houses. We love this Christensen family tradition that has now become a Finlay family tradition.
The artists are at work on their beautiful homes. We had a great time decorating them. Thanks to Megster for her hard work.
