Tanksgiving the first.

I dont know about what you did on Thanksgiving, but I think it'd be fair to say you did NOT have a turkey as delicious as mine.

Its terrifying how content she was in the spaghetti pot.

AUNT GRACE WINS THE MARATHON!

Our darling little ninja Aunt/Great Aunt Grace was a complete and total badass on Nov. 7th 2010 and ran the ING NYC Marathon in 4hrs 51 mins 21 secs. This was her 50th Birthday goal, and she accomplished it. Having lived above 4th ave in Bay Ridge our whole lives, our participation in the marathon thus far included looking out the window (and/or pushing my sister out the window in the hopes of being seen on TV whilst yelling, "RUNNERS. RUNNNNNING." However, "Grace's Gals" and the rest of her fam all went out in various spots along the route (bay ridge, park slope, queens) and then met up at the .5 mile left marker. It was an exhilarating day for our family, and we are all still filled with pride that our little firecracker did it. And the beotch didnt even look like she was tired with half a mile left! AMAZING! :)))

In front of 8415 4th ave...where we lived, loved and ate for over 40 years.

In Park Slope waiting for her to pass!

(Note, Desi has no socks bc at this early point she already

took off and disposed of her first pair, without my authorization)

Running away after she saw us and threw to us her gloves!

I forgot to mention Allie ran the marathon too!

As did me and Binky.

Met up with Mr. and Mrs. Bee in the city for a quick hug!

UNREALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

TRULY AMAZING DAY.
