For the past several years we have gone down to my sister Joanna's house in Texas for Thanksgiving!! This year Jacob and Nanitzi have moved down there as well. It is always fun to be together with family! Catherine and John came with us to Texas this year. It was fun having them with us on the 10hr drive! We have also started this tradition of doing a 5K run/walk, called a Turkey Trot, in downtown Fort Worth on Thanksgiving morning. I guess the thinking behind it is... as long as you run 3 miles in the morning, you can eat as much Thanksgiving dinner as you want!!! At least that is what we do!!! :) Even last year when Andrew was working at Target and had to be here to work on Black Friday, we decided not to leave him here by himself on his last Thanksgiving home before his mission!! But.. we were still able to find a Turkey Trot here in St. Louis!!

This past weekend we went down to Pea Ridge Christmas Tree Farm. We have gone there to cut down a tree ever since I can remember!! This year Ben came with us, along with Catherine and John. We introduced John to one of the many Moore family Christmas traditions! It was very fun. In keeping with Moore family Christmas tree tradition, we didn't all agree at first. Surprisingly enough, we found a tree we all liked! There weren't that many tears! :) Ben enjoyed helping Grandpa and Uncle John cut down the tree!
