Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love the food and there is no pressure like there is with Christmas. This Thanksgiving weekend has been wonderful. We started off the celebration by ringing the Salvation Army bell on Tuesday afternoon. James was a big hit! Sorry we didn't get pictures of that.

James' school hosted a Thanksgiving luncheon on Wednesday that Tobias and I were able to attend. They had all the kids decked out like little pilgrims. It was super cute!

My dad came out on Wednesday evening. He hadn't seen James since May, so they had a lot of catching up to do.

Chris, a friend of ours who is a ROTC instructor at Villanova, came down for the day too. Chris and James had a great time together - too bad Chris only stayed for dinner on Thursday before heading back up North.

James enjoyed his first piece of pumpkin pie on Thursday too. It was obviously a big hit!

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. We usually don't let James watch tv (or eat pie), but since it was a special occasion I put it on. James was so funny!

Tobias and James working together to get the dishes washed after dinner. I love this picture!

I also wanted to share some pictures of James from the past couple of weeks.

James is listening to Daddy's heart beat with my new stethoscope. I won't let him play with it once I take it to the hospital, so I'm glad he enjoyed it now!

Vroom Vroom! James playing with one of his birthday toys.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
