Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

We spent Thanksgiving in NJ with my parents and were able to carry on my childhood tradition of going to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. The weather was absolutely amazing. One of the warmest years I can ever remember. We went every year growing up to this parade and it has been fun to be able to return again with Kylee and Skylar. The balloons tend to change a little from year to year but there has always been... the same crowd excitement, my family sitting in the same spot, beginning our wait with Dunkin Dounuts, clowns throwing confetti, us hoping the bands are playing in front of us, trying to get on TV or in the newspaper and Santa finishing the parade off. I have so many memories from this fun tradition and still even had my Dad driving the family in. I've enjoyed going down memory lane and sharing it with my family minus Alexis. (We did leave Lexi home with a friend in fear of any weather and the crowds). We had a great time and tried to capture a little bit of the parade in this video clip.

Preschool Thanksgiving celebration

Kylee in all her glory at her first preschool concert. Our little singer has been practicing the songs all month and I had a blast watching her perform. I still can't believe I have a preschooler.

What a cute little Indian!!!! They all received Indian names and Kylee's was "Morning Glory"

I just love this girl to bits even though we have entered the stage of trying to boss Mom around. She can be so dang cute one minute and sassy as can be the next...oh the joys of mothering. We just love her preschool and she is having a great time there. We've gone from, "mom don't leave" to "mom, don't forget my hug and kiss" and now "mom, hurry and say good-bye I want to sit by my friends." I know I'm posting these pictures a little late but I'm still trying to get the hang of this thing.

Blogger Newcomers

Well, the list of people asking me to start a blog just keeps getting longer and longer so we have finally jumped on the bandwagon. My only worry is that when I figure this whole thing out you will all be switching to another program! (ha ha). I know I recently just sent pictures out to most of you so we thought we'd include some video from our constant entertainment.

The girls are growing up so fast and we continue to just have a blast with them. We are thankful for every milestone Alexis hits. Kylee is our constant mover and Skylar and I are always looking for new ways to entertain her. Saturday morning she asked to go pretend sledding in the garage when she found her snowboots, so........Skylar came up with this clever idea as we wait for real snow.
