Day 327: Happy Thanksgiving!

We were so excited to celebrate Thanksgiving with Little Buddy this year.  Even though it is technically his third Thanksgiving, it is the first one where he is really aware of the festivities going on around him.  I loved starting the day sharing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with him.


The Sesame Street float was a big hit!


We were lucky enough to have two Thanksgiving celebrations today: the first was Thanksgiving lunch with Uncle C.  Little Buddy really dug into his turkey, his cranberry "jello", his broccoli, and, of course, his pumpkin pie!  I think "pie" may have replaced "cake" as his favorite dessert word!  It was adorable to hear him ask for more "punt-kin" pie!
 

Time for dessert!
 


So yummy!  Yay for Thanksgiving!


Later on, it was time for our first Friendsgiving!  We went over to Mr. E, Ms. E, and O's house to celebrate the holiday with all of our friends who weren't traveling or didn't have family in town.  Mr. M and Ms. C were there with C and N, Mr. S and Ms. L were there with R, and Mr. C and Ms. J were there with J and C.  It was such a blast!  The kids had such a great time playing (even though that meant they were a bit too busy to eat very much) and the adults enjoyed hanging out with other people who didn't mind that their kids were not going to sit still and eat a full Thanksgiving meal, lol!  There was so much food and it was all delicious.  I think we may have started a new tradition!  Yay for Friendsgiving!


We are so thankful for our Texas family.  They mean the world to us!


I know that Daddy and I are so thankful every year for our Little Buddy.  Watching him grow up and being a part of that growth is such an amazing experience.  Oh Little Buddy, we are so, so, so thankful for you!  And when asked what he is thankful for (or what makes him happy), Little Buddy named all his family members, Elmo, pancakes, grilled cheese, and Chesney.  And grapes.  Oh and pie.  :)

I am excited that the Christmas season is now officially here.  The holidays are so much fun now that Little Buddy has an inkling of what is going on.  We'll be in Ohio in less than a month!  Until then, time to start decorating and getting into the spirit.


Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving,
