Happy Thanksgiving

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving and enjoyed celebrating our first with Ava. The weather was magnificent. We woke up a little early to be down for the parade. We got a great spot at an intersection so there was plenty of room to spread out the chairs, strollers, and our friend's little guy Matt could run around safely. The floats and balloons were great. My favs: Rudolph and Frosty :)

After the parade we went and bought our Christmas tree. This was an exciting moment...last year, we decided not to put one up...it was very sad in the end...and I realized that all the work was worth it!! So, we got a tree on sale for almost nothing!!

We had dinner over at Dave's aunt and uncle's house. We enjoyed our visit and of course, stuffed ourselves with turkey! Ava was in great spirits despite having no sleep! She enjoyed meeting and playing with everyone.

Glad you had a great Thanksgiving!

I'm sure Ava is going to love the Christmas tree this year. We are doing a 4 foot fake one this year since I'm not up for the decorating/undecorating of a real tree with baby # 2 coming just after Christmas. We let Andrew put on non-breakable ornaments. He sure is fascinated by the lights!
