We had a fun Thanksgiving today. We started off this morning at the parade downtown, where we met up with Dan, Anuta and Dominik. The kids seemed to like all the marching bands, horses, and big balloons (although Josie seemed a little scared of the balloons, even though she saw some characters she really loves, like Super Grover and Elmo).
Later we had our meal at Mom's, then played a find-the-turkey game. We hid a little turkey doll in the house, then someone had to find it based off our clues. Instead of telling that person they were "hot" or "cold" we had to say "gobble, gobble" softly or loudly. It's pretty silly, as the vid shows, but a lot of fun.
Josie has been getting really interested in building things lately. She loves stacking blocks to make towers, and one morning we found Josie building a whole town on the playroom slide. the video shows Josie and Jimmy playing with marble runs. The video is hilarious--watch Josie and Jimmy do a dance that shows their excitement as they watch the marbles go down the chutes. It's really cute.
Here are a few of our pics from yesterday . . . just to get them out there! I'll add more, and tell more, later. We had a very busy day, and by the end of the night we were all exhausted. We had a ton of fun, though . . .
Some explanation may be needed for Jim's costume, for those of you who don't have a toddler. Jim's DJ Lance Rock costume was by far the hottest. A driver pulled over at some point to ask excitedly if that's who Jim was, and many of the dads stopped Jim (one to say that Jim had stolen his costume idea). And little tykes along our route continually did a double take, then asked, "Yo Gabba?"
