A Happy Thanksgiving...

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. It started off bright and early on Thursday morning, when the four of us got ready and headed into New York City at 4:45 a.m. to meet up with my sister Michelle, brother-in-law Mitch and nieces Grace and Claire from Florida to go with them to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We were in our spot to view the parade at 6:00 a.m. and then the waiting began for 3-1/2 hours. Thankfully it was not bitterly cold. We were all bundled up, the adrenaline was flowing and a little hot Starbucks to keep us warm. The parade got to us around 9:30 and we enjoyed all the bands, balloons and floats. Brayden's favorite was Spiderman. Sarah's favorite was everything. Jason's favorite was Santa, because that meant the parade was at an end. LOL! My favorite part was watching Brayden's face when he saw a balloon or character on a float he knew.

After the parade we headed to eat at Virgil's Barbecue for our Thanksgiving dinner. We were more tired than hungry, so we brought home a few doggie bags. Jason said it was the first time on Thanksgiving he didn't feel stuffed.

After lunch we headed back to our house in Jersey and enjoyed hanging out with the Hutchcrafts for the next 48 hours before they headed back to Florida on Saturday afternoon. The cousins loved being together, playing in the leaves, swimming, going to see the Muppet movie (super cute if you like the Muppets).  We are thankful for the times we share with them.
