Our little Thanksgiving!

We had a really sweet and simple Thanksgiving again this year. We played around and watched the Macy's Day Parade. One of our (MY) favorite things to do. Steven ran out to grab a paper to check out the ads. Aubrey kept asking "When is this going to be over?" She wanted to watch her shows. But, we stuck it out, we even saw Santa.

Then we had lunch, and began cooking. Aubrey watched a little tv and took a nap. Jamie took a long nap as well. He slept through our dinner, which was nice to be able to eat without him grunting at us, this his way of telling us he wants something. When he got up he at his sweet potatoes and turkey from gerber. He liked it.

Then when Steven and Aubrey got back from playing with Kelly (her friend across the street.), we went to see Mrs. Cindy. It was her birthday. So, we took her present and wished her a Happy Birthday. It was good to see them, since it gets dark earlier now we hardly see our neighbors. It has been since the Halloween Party since I have seen most of them.

Jen and Chris called to see if we wanted to come over, so we ran over for about an hour. It was good to visit with them. They have really gotten in routine with Jen starting to work at night. So, we have not seen them in awhile.

Tomorrow we are having an Iron Bowl Party, I know...we may lose! However, it is a great time to have a party and we are excited to see everyone. We have been so out touch with our routine and it will be great to catch up.

So here are a few pictures from our Thanksgiving. Friday night we baked muffins.


Jamie just hung out in the kitchen with us. He kept spittting up so we put him in the walker. So, just watched as we made muffins.
So, this was Aubrey just chillin and playing with her Pollies. She and Steven enjoyed just horsing around.


Jamie always just watches what is going on. He is the studier.
Steven was studying the sales ads. Budgeting what we could afford to on Black Friday.
Again, I love the Macy's Day Parade. I will always remember making plans with Ashley to get a red convertable and drive to New York to see the Parade in Person.
This was Aubrey's favorite part, I am not sure if it was b/c it was Santa or that the Parade was over.



Jamie ate lunch while Steven was getting our dinner planned out.

This was our Thanksgiving Birds. We had 2 Cornish Hens. Just right! They look big here...

Look now next to the fork! They were cute!
Remember Jamie slept through our meal. Here is his dinner!

I remember our plans!! I wathced the parade too. Mostly by myself this year. Michael, Dalt and Dyl were all outside playing. They came in every once in a while to check up on the parade, but I had to watch all of it. I actually heated up a turkey breast for our family this year. It was already smoked so my task wasn't too hard. I also did butter beans. Yum Yum!! Your hens were cute:)
