Thanksgiving

We have had a wonderful last two weeks (minus the Iron Bowl ending, but we won't discuss that). Bode had a big swim meet two weekends ago. He swam the best he's ever swum including an amazing 4:57 in the 500-free along with a 1:49.65 in the 200-free. Below is the video of this race (and I will post the video as soon as I get it off Ashley's phone).

He got sixth overall and was quite pleased with his time, although he did say he was dead afterwards.

We also had the end-of-year Choctaw swim banquet. Bode was the high-point swimmer for the boys (the swimmer that scored the most points at all the meets over the course of the season). Here he is with Coach Jasson and Coach Tifany.

The team also posed for a large group photo; the theme for the evening was pajamas, which is why everyone is so underdressed.

On Thanksgiving morning, Bode and Ashley ran a 5k (I played pickleball); I think Ashley won her age group, but we won't mention what that is exactly :-)

Ashley cooked a great turkey, and JoAnne and Frank came over and feasted with us (sadly, no pictures were taken). I did manage to find the time to put up some Christmas lights, and I think our house looks great.

We are now sitting around watching some television and waiting for the work-week to start (boo). The dogs, for some reason, are wiped out.

This week will be a special one as two members of our family have birthdays! Stay tuned :-)
