Thanksgiving

Dearest Blessings~

Happy Thanksgiving!  We have to much to be thankful for too!  Thanksgiving is always the fourth thursday in november.  This time last year we were relocated from our house .... remember, we had the hardwood floors placed downstairs.  :-)

I forgot to mention this, but you two can both get into your own carseats by yourselves!  Woo hoo!  Grace doesn't always do it.  She usually just gets into the van and then plays with the buckles in her seat while standing next to it.  :-P  But, even the fact that you two get into the van by yourselves is a big help!  Especially with baby biscuit coming soon! 

I had bad insomnia last night.  I got up around 1am to use the restroom and I just couldn't go back to sleep.  After laying there a while, I started to get hungry.  So, I went downstairs and then read in bed.  I put the book down around 4am.  Ugh.  I hate nights/mornings like that. 

After breakfast, we put laundry on and all watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.  We all took it easy and relaxed.  I almost dozed off.  ;-)  Daddy and I gave you two a later snack than usual.  We were going to have a late lunch, so we wanted to time the meal just right for you both.  Joshua had his usual applesauce and Grace had her yogurt.  

We all met up with people for lunch at 1pm once the parade was over.  We got to see Mimi, Grandpa Mike, Uncle Brennan, Aunt Katie, Aunt Judy (Aunt Katie's aunt), Uncle Bob (Aunt Katie's uncle), Betsy and Alex (Aunt Katie's parents), and Rob and Casey (Aunt Katie's brother and girlfriend).  We ate at a restaurant near North Hills Mall.  There was lots of food and everything was so good!  Grace, you got grumpy though and wanted to be held most of the time.

From there we went to (Great) Uncle Laurence's house.  We got to see (Great) Uncle Laurence, (Great) Aunt Marti, (Great) Aunt Beth, cousin Erik, cousin Mia, cousin Christopher, cousin Stephanie, cousin Dean, cousin Charlie, cousin Madelynn, and Gigi!  Whew .... so many people today!  Uncle James and Grandpa Jim were in Asheboro seeing Great Grandpa and Great Grandma. 

We all got to play and visit.  Everyone was still full from lunch, but you two still managed to eat a cookie while there.  ;-)  You two had a lot of fun running around with the other kids!  The bad news was that no one napped, so you all were getting grumpy by 5:30pm.

So, we headed out and were home by 6pm.  We ate a little, but not much.  Then, we relaxed and played upstairs.  We have so much to be thankful for!  I'm so thankful for daddy and my three children!  Daddy got to feel lots of baby biscuit movements today.  She must be getting excited to meet you two!  ;-)

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
