Thanksgiving morning started with the Turkey Trot 10K. It was cold - race time temperature of 45 with a wind chill that had to be in the mid-20s. The Broadbent brothers (Steve, Phil, Mark and I) raced in the same race for the first time ever and were joined by two of my siblings-in-law (Greg and Kim). Greg and Kim left us in the dust - we suspect that is because they are (a) cross country runners and (b) not held back by Broadbent athletic genes. Kim actually finished 3rd in her age group (she finished in 47 min at age 14). As for the brothers, Mark won even running with an ankle brace, Steve finished second, I finished third and Phil was fourth. I was very happy to be in at just under an hour (59:40).
Later we headed over to the Broadbent family homestead to eat dinner with the Monroes (Keith, Bev, Greg, Kim and Charity), Grandma Nancy, Mark, Steve, Katie, Phil and Jen, and two missionaries from the deaf branch. It was a big crowd and everyone enjoyed the food. Thanks Mom for leading the charge and all her assistants (I was not one of them).
On Saturday, we enjoyed watching BYU beat Utah (Go Cougars!) and enjoyed the Monroes' company. And on Sunday, we blessed Lucy. Special thanks go to the Monroes for the beautiful blessing dress (and for their coming to visit) and to Aunt Jan for the baby jewelry.
