Pre-Thanksgiving!

We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this morning (pictured above 2005 and 1950's parades). The boys danced to the Rockette's, the school bands, the rock bands, the commercials.... Come to think of it they danced to just about everything.

We had chocolate chip pancakes (dad's favorite) and a bath. All before noon. Amazing right? Not really, the boys got up at 5:30am. There is an unfortunate pattern developing for these pre-dawn events - it consistently happens on weekends and vacations. I can be going to work and not hear a peep out of anyone but as soon as Saturday rolls around the internal clocks starting ticking away. I am told by those wiser than I that sleep will come back in about 20 years. sigh.

Here are some pictures of the boys and Joelle enjoying the parade. I will post some Thanksgiving feast pictures later.

You can almost hear Joelle saying "save me!"

So what is Ben thinking?

"sugar and spice and everything nice" finally makes a great deal of sense!

Are we finished yet?

Naptime before the big meal!
