Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving Day recap! We started with the traditional Thanksgiving Krispy Kreme doughnut breakfast!After breakfast it was a walk along the river with the dogs. It is a bit too far of a trek for Hanzie so he stayed home. We walked up to the "sand park" and met the kids there. The dogs enjoyed the walk. It was still cloudy and humid early this morning.

After the walk and park time, it was directly home for coffee and the parade!
Noah took over 100 pictures of the parade on TV. I'm not exaggerating! Here Will and I are trying to watch the parade despite Noah constantly standing in front of the television!
We turned the oven on and then headed to the beach for a walk. By late morning, the sun was shining, the temps were in the low-70's, and the humidity was gone. It was an absolutely gorgeous day!

It is hard to believe that the boys will be as tall as me soon. Ethan's foot is already bigger than mine! Crazy. Noah took my glasses!

Thankfully, they didn't have to make any rescues!
Ethan was an awesome helper today. He peeled all of the potatoes and helped every step of the way with making dinner.

After dinner it was time for another walk and park time. This time I brought Hanzie. Chris and the boys drove up and I met up with them again. Hanzie did catch a ride home.

The boys are now asking for dessert! Chris just left to go see New Moon. Tonight Melissa, Sam, and I plan on a midnight trip to Toys R' Us.

We have had a great day even though it started a little rocky. The boys have had a Beta fish for two years and he died today. Noah had just said how thankful he was for his pets! The boys buried him in the front yard. He lived in a space themed fish tank so his name was Rover as in Mars Rover.
