We attempted to play a game of Thanksgiving Day Parade BINGO which was a homemade game in which I created cards with the various float/balloon characters in the parade and we marked them with candy corns when we saw them. Sounds fun, right? Well, it could've been fun if there weren't umpteen thousand commercials and interviews during the "parade" (if we can even still call it that) giving one little man more than enough time to eat all his candy corns and loose interest in the game. Next year, we will be recording it from start to finish so that we can play our bingo game in a reasonable amount of time. Third world problems, I know!
After the failed attempt at watching the parade we enjoyed a gigantic Thanksgiving lunch made up of all the traditional foods that make this my favorite meal of the year! Troy could take it or leave it and I think Ethan is taking after Dad on this one. Seriously though, how could anyone not love sweet potato casserole?!? Its beyond me. BUT, there is still hope... It looks like Emily is going to be a Thanksgiving fanatic like her Mama.
We gave her a turkey leg to reenact a scene that we did with Ethan on his very first Thanksgiving (granted she is about 7 months older than he was at the time,) and she seriously tried to devour that thing. We had to pry it out of her hands after she got it to her mouth for fear of her choking on it. We did give her a few tiny pieces of turkey to eat and she loved it. And with as much as she loves sweet potatoes, I have a feeling sweet potato casserole will not be lost on her.
Remember this... ?
We have so much to be thankful for not just on Thanksgiving, but every single day! These beautiful, healthy children top the list!!!
(Excuse the cherry pie "leftovers" on Ethan's face, and Emily's runny nose)
