THANKSGIVING

THE BEGINNING OF

 THE HOLIDAY SEASON!

AND SINCE I NO LONGER AM THE ONE

COOKING THANKSGIVING DINNER,

(OF WHICH I AM VERY THANKFUL)

MY DAY BEGAN WITH WATCHING

THE THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE.

I DECIDED TO POST SOME PICTURES FROM IT
SO OUR ITALIAN EXCHANGE GRANDAUGHTER, BIANCA,
WHO IS NOW BACK HOME IN ITALY,
COULD EXPERIENCE OUR THANKSGIVING.

THE PARADE IS FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT!

THERE WERE THE BALLOONS,OF COURSE.

THERE WERE MARCHING BANDS,

AND CHEER LEADERS TOO.

THERE WERE  FLOATS WITH SINGERS

ENTERTAINING THE CROWD.

AND WE ALL KNOW WHEN TONY BENNETT 

COMES BY SINGING 

"SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN"

THAT SANTA IS NOT FAR BEHIND.

IT WAS A TWO AND A HALF HOUR LONG PARADE

AND I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

THANKS JENNY AND MIKE

FOR HOSTING THIS YEAR'S

THANKSGIVING.

EMILY SAYS THAT SHE DOESN'T NEED THE TURKEY,

AS LONG AS SHE HAS AUNT JENNY'S

CHEESE AND SNACK BOARD.

IT RUNS THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE TABLE,

AND IS FILLED WITH LOTS OF GOOD THINGS TO MUNCH.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT,

WE SAVED ROOM FOR OUR TURKEY DINNER.

AND OF COURSE, MY FAVORITE PART,

THE DESSERT!

FUN DAYS ALWAYS HAVE TO COME TO AN END,

BUT NOT BEFORE,

POSING FOR A FEW MORE PHOTOS

FOR PAPA.

WE HAVE A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR!
