Happy Thanksgiving

We headed back to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving this year. This was the first time we made the trip back since Ben proposed two years ago. It was great to spend the long weekend with family.
I wish I would have taken a picture of the food spread we had this year. My grandma made 2 turkeys and a ham. There were mounds of mashed potatoes, a table full of casseroles and salads. Another table with deviled eggs and veggies. And a whole separate table full of desserts! It was all so delicious and we ate WAY too much!
On Friday we ran a Turkey Trot in downtown Tulsa. My dad ran with us! It was my dad's first road race in at least 10 years. He did awesome!

Ben, my dad, and I at the start line
After the Turkey Trot, we went to the Tulsa vs. Houston football game. At the time, Houston was the #7 ranked team in the country. The first half of the game was great! Unfortunately TU fell apart in the second half and got beat pretty bad. But, we had a fun time and we had good seats!

We hit up Coney I-Lander- a must when visiting Tulsa. It's a hole-in-the-wall hot-dog joint that is SO good!
With our delicious dogs

Our last night, we went to look at the Christmas light display over at Rhema Bible College. The display has over 2 million lights and 90,000 of those lights are synchronized to music. It's pretty awesome! A great way to get into the Christmas spirit!
