* After a frustrating ride down South (Vancouver, Portland) (DVD player not working which equals quarreling kids, pouring down rain, pregnant bladder requiring frequent stops, etc) we had a nice time visiting with our friends the Combs in Vancouver. Emilio and Grace especially liked playing together (they were both both in ABQ a few weeks apart).
*Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in NY on TV Thursday morning in our pj's. I loved all the musical productions!
* We had a nice Thanksgiving at my Uncle David's in Vancouver as well. The kids especially enjoyed their turkey crafts that Aunt Michelle provided for them.
Emilio and Noelle (my cousin Ben's daughter)
* Friday morning we headed out to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Andrew made us all Gingerbread lattes to take along and hot cocoa for the kids. Andrew and his girlfriend Karen Rose came along, Mom and Dad, John escaped from law school finals studies to come, the kids and I. We were joined downtown by our friends Laurie, Jenny, Matt and little Natalie. Our good friends Tom and Tyrene came with their grand kids Josiah and Esabella, and our friend Sue came with her grand daughter Maddison. It was quite the party! The parade was awesome and got everyone in the Christmas spirit.
*Getting the majority of my Christmas shopping done in Portland, tax free and kid free (my dad watched them). It was also nice to just hang with my mama.
*Emilio got to go see Madagascar 2 with Nonno. Poor Gabi couldn't go because she wasn't feeling good.
*Church on Sunday morning at my parent's church. I like that their church is doing this cool thing called Advent Conspiracy for the Christmas season. Watch the video.
A very good Thanksgiving I'd say.
