And the prize goes to...

STEVE! The prize for gaining the most weight on Thanksgiving, that is. We did our second annual "pre-thanksgiving weigh in," posted the Pre-weights on the fridge, ate until we couldn't eat anything else, and then weighed in to find out the damage. Steve took it this year with a whopping 5.6 pounds. I was not surprised that he won, especially considering he has been training all year, but he did proceed to moan with any little movement and had quite a time reaching his feet to put his shoes on to go throw the baseball with Greg! After a few hours passed, he ate an additional two pieces of pie and stepped on the trusty scale only to find another .6 lbs. It alarms me a little to think how much food was actually eaten to equal that much weight, but we had a really great day... full bellies and all.

I am thankful for today. Thankful for a phone call with my mother. Thankful for Steve watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and putting up lights to make me happy. Thankful for dinner with my family. Thankful for my in-laws joining the big day. Thankful for time spent together. Thankful for plenty of food. Thankful for love. Thankful for a day off. Thankful for Savanah Smiles. Thankful for laughter. Thankful for today.
