Our Thanksgiving celebration was a bit quieter this year than in years passed. We started the day with the Macy's parade as usual. The boys weren't super interested and I have to say I don't blame them. The entire first hour was just NBC promoting their own shows and Broadway musicals. Unfortunately by the time we were able to see many of the floats, balloons and bands, they had mostly lost interest.
When the parade was over, we quickly video conferenced with Omi and Grandpa Bob, who were visiting the Smuckers in Montana. It is nice to be able to "see" them even though we can't be with them today. Then we headed to RI for our Thanksgiving feast at Uncle Bob and Aunt Chris's. It was a smaller gathering this year, only 21 people. Still plenty big for such an involved meal!
Normally after the big Dowding feast, we go to have dessert with the Kavanagh's but unfortunately Aunt Donna and Uncle Rick weren't feeling up to it this year. It is a huge undertaking and they always host a fabulous day but we understand that it just wasn't in the cards for this year. We did, however, stop by to drop off some pumpkin bread for them to enjoy over the weekend. Wishing you lots of love and good health to all of our family today, especially Uncle Rick and Aunt Donna! Happy Thanksgiving!
