We had a really great Thanksgiving this year! Of course it was filled with lots of food, but you know, it was worth every calorie I did eat. I love Thanksgiving and the whole meaning behind this holiday, which I'm trying to teach my boys all about being thankful & the month of November is perfect for that. I got up early Thursday morning, made a pot of coffee, and waited for my guys to wake up. I knew the Macy's parade would be a part of our morning, so I was so excited to get the day started. I've always loved that parade, but these past few years I haven't been able to watch it much. We've been so busy getting ready and heading off to see family that watching the parade was just getting to see little bits of it. Well, this year, we weren't eating until 3:30 at mom & dad's, so that meant we had the opportunity to watch the parade in its entirety and I was so excited about it. Brenton made a great breakfast and then it was time for all the balloons, bands, and celebrities to fill our tv screen. Slowing down that morning, really was a treat! This is the beginning of the most wonderful time of year and I loved being able to have such a great day. Being with my family is always a fun time that is filled with laughter, chaos, crafts, eating, and lots of catching up. By the time it was over, we all were waddling to our cars stuffed to the brim. LOL!
