Happy Thanksgiving!

 
(Macy's Thanksgiving day parade)

This weekend our family ventured out for another Thanksgiving adventure.  We are in NYC celebrating, relaxing, touring, and having fun with family. On Wednesday, we headed to Times Square and visited Toys R Us.  The kids spent HOURS there looking around and finally taking a fun ride on the Ferris Wheel.  After a "family nap time" we all went out for the Macy's day parade balloon inflation viewing.  The balloons were being inflated only 4 blocks away from Mary and Justin's apartment!

Ace hung out with us...
and the kids hung out in his crate =)
 Thanksgiving morning we headed out to Carla's downtown office building where we had a prime real estate spot for viewing the parade.  It was AWESOME not having to battle crowds.  We watched from the 5th floor of her building on a balcony.  Some coffee, bagels, and great company!  Isa was so excited to be reunited with her "prince" Jack while Will and Uncle Justin battled as dinosaurs on city rooftops.   Back at Justin and Mary's our Thanksgiving feast was DELICIOUS and followed by another "family nap" thanks to the never failing coma inducing turkey!  We are having an amazing time and we still have 2 more days!  We feel truly blessed for each other, our families, and this special time we are having.
