Scenes From Thankfulness

photo
We went to the City for breakfast, in our Thanksgiving finery (see Ellie) and brought our own centerpiece of course (see Leo).

I'd like to say we hit the Parade, but I'm not quite that brave, yet (though it's on my To Do list when the kids get a little older, but not too old that they don't want to be seen with us). Speaking of the parade, we recorded it this year and watched it when we got home. This is the way to watch the parade, fast-forwarding through all the commercials and annoying celebrity interviews. This was the first year the kids were actually into the parade (and not just the Sponge Bob and Kermit balloons). Ellie was very interested in all the "girl dancers," particularly the act from "Priscilla Queen of the Desert." Yes, that was an interesting little conversation.

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving with a baby(ies) without a good turkey bib: "Mommy's Little Turkey"--I'll say.

Best way to emerge from a turkey coma: story time.

The kids went to bed early and then I ate a lot of pie, which is the way every day should end, I think.

Ellie looks lovely.

the parade is on my list, too. (have we talked about this?) It seems kind of overwhelming, though. But I feel like I should see it.

Happy (now belated) Thanksgiving! Love Leo's hat & Ellie's jacket... and that you explained Priscilla to little'uns.

And, yes, EVERY day should end in pie.
