Stuffed as a Turkey

I don't know about you, but I could probably stop eating and be able to sustain myself for another month. This is must how bears feel before they hibernate. Just stuffed to the brim. Isn't Thanksgiving the best?

 

1. Work up early on Thanksgiving and ran in the Dallas Turkey Trot. 8 miles. I had to make room for all that turkey.
2. Made myself some whole wheat peanut butter pancakes topped with more peanut butter and honey after the run. 
3. Friday, I did tons of baking to prep for our tailgate on Saturday morning. Since I have been loving chai-flavored things lately, I made chai-spiced granola. It was delicious.
4. I also made mini cinnamon rolls. Those did not turn out as good as I had hoped.
5. Our morning tailgate spread was a little out of control. Complete with a coffee and mimosa bar.
6. The game was a nail biter. Baylor edged out Texas Tech in overtime.
7 & 8. I wasted no time getting Christmas decorations up on Sunday when things finally slowed down. Next will be the Christmas tree.

How was your long, holiday weekend?

    So the real question... were you rooting for Tech or Baylor? I'll still love you if it was Baylor, but we won't tell my husband who was SCREAMING at the television at the end! So glad we decided not to go to the game. LOL
