This year Thanksgiving seemed so easy...it was calm, wonderful, I did almost no work and there was plenty to give thanks for. The morning was great I FINALLY have someone who enjoyed watching the parade almost as much as I did. Abigail got so excited when she'd see a balloon of someone she knew and then of course even more so when Santa arrived!! Because Dad and Mom did all the cooking at our house the boys got two good naps in and we were able to stay put and have it be as close to a normal day as possible, which is always key. We also got in a good family picture, including Zoey which made it even more special.
The meal itself was fantastic and Dad and Mom did a great job cooking as always. Abigail sat at the table for the first time and the table was full of food and surrounded by love.
We shared the special day with Nana and Pop-pop and Grandma and Grandpa!! Abigail had a great time decorating turkey cupcakes with Grandma that came at just the right time as she was beginning to get bored and as always Hungry...
After dinner and deserts we started our new Elf on the Shelf Family tradition. It is this great book about an Elf, whom we've named Dani, comes to your house and magically every night flys to visit Santa and tell the happenings of the day--both good and bad. Then every morning when he/she comes back she's hidden in a different spot. I had a wonderful time reading the story to all the kiddos and look very much forward to this new holiday tradition.
