Happy Thanksgiving
Don't let the sunshine and blue sky fool you...it was a cold day for our Thanksgiving Day FuN RuN! I am not sure when the family tradition started but I have always had memories of running together as a family. Some of us have gone on to break state records, run for BYU, run relays between cities, marathons, crazy day races and yes, even family reunion 5Ks while others of us wonder why we drag ourselves out of bed early on our holiday to walk across a corn field, crawl over a fence and then cross a clover field on a very cold morning to gather as family, extended family and church family to run the Meyer & Martin family FuN RuN. Ah, who am I kidding...we do it because it is fun and because we love it. Here are a few highlights from the day.
The kids spent the time playing while waiting for the Fun Run to begin.

On your mark, get set, GO!!! And we are off!
Aunt Casualene helped the girls make edible cornucopias for all the tables. Great Grandma couldn't celebrate the day with us but she sent the beautiful flowers in the background for us to enjoy.
The day was filled with family, fun, food, games, playing and reading.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

When I was young we use to make cornicopias out of the pointed icecream cones. You steam the bottem then roll them. Then you put nuts and candy in them and use them for place settings. It was so great. It doesn't work with the sugar cones so we can't do it anymore, but gald someone does some kind of edible cornicopias...(even if I probably spelled it wrong).
My sister-in-law shapes foil into a cornucopia and then wraps bread dough around it. Once the bread is baked you take the foil out. It's a fun tradition.
Cute pics, but you left out the ones of YOU!
Karen, my Mom and I are viewing blogs together. I guess I hadn't checked yours out in awhile. You've been doing a lot of posting lately! Thanks for the fun updates!! I enjoy running with your family too, but I can't match Alice's dedication at the moment. Seriously, it's still dark out when she's DONE running. My mom wants to add that "the kids are precious."
Thanks Maren and Aunt Janet. I love following the family blogs. It is a great way to keep up on how everyone is doing. Bridgette is growing fast.
I agree, Alice is hard to keep up with these days but you are a great runner too. I enjoyed running with you years ago at BYU and hearing about all your races since then.
I loved your Christmas card! Thank you. Merry Christmas!
