How Many People Can Fit in Mom's House for Thanksgiving?

29.

Next year we'll aim for 30.

While we're used to Thanksgiving with about 15 people, this was a new record for the Hopkins family. Make that the Hopkins-Davis-Turvene-Snyder-Shaw-Crane-Braffman-Pfeiffer family!

It was a fun day, with more than enough food to go around, and a few extra friends of TJ that were brave enough to come spend Thanksgiving with 25 people they didn't know.


The day started off with a 5k Turkey Trot around Arlington, where 11 yr. old Helen (a Girls on the Run pro) beat every member of her family to cross the finish line in 31 minutes. 8 yr. old Alex was not far behind.


After all that running, the to die for sweet potato casserole, turkey, honey baked ham, pecan pie, and pumpkin cheesecake bars hit the spot!
