Thanksgiving

Peyton and I started off Thanksgiving watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade while Kyle slept in a little. Peyton enjoyed seeing the Sesame Street float, the Abby Caddaby balloon, and the Mickey Mouse balloon (shocking, huh?). He was also excited to see Santa Clause come at the end of the parade. After the parade I made an apple pie and the death by chocolate to take to dinner later on.

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my family!

We went to my cousin Nadean's house for Thanksgiving dinner, as we do every year. Here is the annual picture of everyone before we started eating dinner.

Dinner was delicious. There were all of the usual suspects: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, my mom's cracker corn, green bean casserole, sausage and sauerkraut, and bread. Everyone ate until they were stuffed.

We took a little break before dessert to make some room in our stomachs for more food. Here's Jeremy and Jill relaxing.

And here is a picture of Pop-Pop and Peyton.

Peyton entertained us with some piano playing and singing before dessert. We heard such classics as "Sing" and "Jingle Bells."

Next, we ate dessert. There was lots to choose from including Death by Chocolate, apple pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, eclairs, 7-Up cake, peanut butter tandy cakes, and some cookies. Everything was so yummy!

After dessert, Peyton played with this bank for a really long time. He'd put all of the coins in, then Nadean would get them back out for him and then he would do it all over again. He doesn't need toys for Christmas, just a bank and 5 pennies. That would make him happy.

Austin is always nice and lets Peyton play with his old toys. Last night they played with this pirate ship. Peyton liked that too.

We headed home around 7:30, just in time for bedtime. Happy Thanksgiving!
