Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was an extra joy this year with Mila and Nolan around. One of Kari's favorite childhood Thanksgiving traditions was watching the Macy's Parade with the family. Since we've been married we haven't made a special effort to turn on the parade. So with the babies around, she said, "we've got to start the tradition". Nolan and Mila do not watch much tv so they really enjoyed being just feet away from the screen and were, for the most part, interested in what was going on. Nolan was especially interested in the Rockettes :-).

After breakfast and the parade I took Wyatt for a walk in the neighborhood. Upon return, I was not so thankful to see that someone had broken into our car!

Kari's dad, Grandpa Jay, came over (her parents live around the corner) and helped me clean up the mess. Fortunately the thieves were not interested in baby gear and nothing was stolen. While we were cleaning up Jay said, "hey, do you have one of those corrugated plastic signs from church...", so below is a picture of our remedy. After all, we are supposed to "give praise in all circumstances", right?

We finshed cleaning up just in time for lunch around the corner. Kari's family all went to her parents' house for lunch. It is always a great time. The babies had fun with the family and I'm sure the family had fun with the babies.
