Thanksgiving 2012

 
 
We started our Thanksgiving morning with watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and playing outside to enjoy the nice (warm) weather.
 
 
 
 
 






 
While I fixed lunch, Ava watched the parade AGAIN and the boys watched the Texans game upstairs on the big screen. :)
 
 
Thanksgiving Grilled Cheese sandwiches.

 

 
After Ava's nap, we headed over the Nonnie and Papa's house for Thanksgiving dinner and quality family time.  
 
The girls and I worked on the decorations for Nicki's wedding.

 
Colin and Ryan played football for a bit.

 
Cookin' in the Kitchen!
My favorite photo of the day!

Ava wanted to keep making turkeys so after we were done, we gave her paper and she went at it!
