Thanksgiving and a Parade

The boys celebrated Thanksgiving at school the Friday of the week prior.

Aunt Kathy hosted dinner on Thanksgiving this year, giving us a break from cooking the big turkey. The only pictures I seemed to have taken are of Charlotte all dolled up.

The following day we put up our decorations, finally. Noah had thought it was Christmas season since that Saturday (the day after Thanksgiving at school). It didn't help matters that there was also a beautiful snowfall that day so it really looked liked Christmas. Here the boys are showing off their new slippers from Nana Jenny.

After the decorations were up we decided to start a new tradition by attending the local Light Up the Holidays parade, fireworks, and tree lighting. It was pretty frosty out, but we made it through most of the parade before heading back to our car with frozen toes and fingers.
