We had a blast at Thanksgiving with the four of us, Aunt Deb and Uncle Sean, Uncle Sean's Parents and Ev, Dinesh and Kanan from the city. We all dined on David superb turkey and enjoyed sides and pies supplied by each of us. The meal was delicious and so was the elegant company. The boys loved having a full house for the holiday and really got excited about an opportunity to eat at the "kiddie" table (the one from when Deb and I were little) to eat on. In addition to a great meal there was time sitting by the fire, a couple rounds of pool in the basement and of course football.
The day after turkey day Mama had lunch with Auntie Alex from DC - this is our annual tradition since she is two towns away visiting her husband's family in NJ. We had a nice ladies luncheon, got our nails done and even did a little early shopping with the masses. This is also the un-official start of gift opening as Alex was kind enough to bring the boys a little gift that was greatly appreciated. We like to spread out the excitement around here of course.
Saturday was another treat as we all traveled into the city for a brunch/reunion of our NYC urban family. There were four families in all and five children (Alex being the oldest at 3 1/2 so you can imagine the little ones). We feasted on a delicious brunch made by Ev and enjoyed the merriment of seeing everyone. After brunch we all walked down to the park behind their building to let the babes run around. The park was great and made even better by the fact that the elevated train went right by every five minutes allowing the boys to yell train and wave to all the people riding by. There were also planes, helicopters and a view of the GW bridge so they were overdosing on all of their favorite things in real life. They are already begging to go back to Evs and honestly with all the fun and other kids, who can blame them.
So much to be truly thankful for ~ XOXOXO
