We started our Thanksgiving by making monkey bread. It was so much fun watching John eat the monkey bread. He loved it this year and put a pretty sizable dent in his side of the bread. Gillian loved it too. And again Mommy and Daddy ate too much. We then watched the parade. Gillian loved it. She would shout out the names of the balloons and waved as they passed by.

We went to my Mom’s for dinner. John was so excited to see his cousins again. “I’m bringing my Nerf gun, just in case we have a battle!” Gillian fell asleep in the car and was a little cranky when we arrived. John immediately started playing with the kids. They played outside. They did play with their guns but the battle was not as big as last weekend.

Dinner was delicious (like usual). The kids ate with no complaints. They even found room for dessert. Gillian had two cookies and two pieces of pumpkin pie. John had two pieces too and somehow he conned Grandma into giving him some extra to take home. It was another wonderful holiday and we were lucky to spend it with our family.
