All the happenings of actual Thanksgiving

Last year we all signed up to walk/run the local 5k and decided to do it again this year. 

We woke up early.  

We arrived at the race on time and waited around while the start gun went off.

While we were waiting around we took some pictures and were graced with a surprise.  

Here's baby Jack and Miss M geared up for their 5k walk with Grandma and Grandpa. 

Here is a picture of the whole troop.  The kids are in the picture but because it was sunny and because the picture was taken on my phone they are hiding in the shadows.

Craig had a surprise for (most) of us. Jessie was in on the surprise (she created it) and Andrew found out the night before (cheater). 

The front of Craig's shirt says "Final Thanksgiving". 

The back of Craig's shirt says "with 2 kidneys" and a picture of two kidneys in the proper anatomical position.

They should have made one for Grandpa too since it was his last Thanksgiving with two kidneys since after the surgery he'll have three!

We received official word that Craig will be the donor as he passed all his tests (gasp). The surgery is scheduled for the middle of December. A perfect Christmas present for everyone!
