Thanksgiving 2010

The weather was cold - about 12 degrees. The race started at 9:00 up at the capital. Tyler, Deeann and I ran our third turkey trot race and Ralph watched the children, this time at their home instead of freezing at the finish line like he did in the past.
In 2006, 2007 and this year I ran the 6K race in 46 minutes and some seconds. I guess I'm consistent. This year my goal was to run the entire race and that's what I did.
Jacob and Andrew are waiting for Turkey dinner.
Deeann got the fruit turkey idea and let Tyler make it. It is cute, fun and was tasty. Thanks!

Thanksgiving night at 10 p.m. Toys'R Us opened for their big toy sale. Tyler started standing in line at 8 p.m. and Deeann and I joined him at 9:30 p.m. with a blanket and some hot chocolate. He was frozen. We were about the 50th people in line so we got in and Guymon's got all the items they went for. When they checked out at 10:50 p.m. there were still people standing in line to enter the store. Too many people were there to all be let in at the same time.

Ralph got up at 3:30 a.m. to stand in line and acquire a new TV. He didn't get one. Later in the day someone that did buy one was selling it for a profit and Ralph couldn't resist so he bought it from them. See how happy he is!!

Friday night we bundled everyone up and went to see the Christmas lights.

Also, Ralph and I went to see the Rockettes. It was a great performance.
