Traditions

Today we woke up and decided we wanted a tradition for the girls on Thanksgiving. We celebrate Thanksgiving with my family on Friday and Dennis' family all already had plans--so it was us. We bundled up the girls went out for breakfast and headed down to the parade. It was great and special and just us. I would love to say we stood out in the cold drinking hot chocolate and screaming at the floats passing us by--but we found a great parking spot where we could see everything and sat in a warm car, llistening to great music, drinking coffee and laughing at how ridiculous we probably look right now. We went home and watched Dora and the Wiggles and made an amazing dinner (tofu lasagna, broccoli and french fries) and ended with Mrs. Paul's frozen pumpkin pie. What more could you ask for? Other than Baily's on ice and a great documentary. Happy Holidays!

we used to take our boys to the parade and it was lots of fun! i think it has gotten better with age. that first year i swear the balloons were only five feet off the ground and some were being dragged down market street because they weren't fully inflated! it's a great tradition...though my boys are now old enough to say "what? get up at 7:30 to see a bunch of balloons dragged down the street? you must be crazy!" enjoy it while you can! b.
