We had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Alex started it off at 6:45 but luckily went back to his room until 7:30 when I got up with him, we had donuts for breakfast, played a lot in the playroom, and at 9:00 started watching the parade.  At 9:30 I started emptying the dishwasher *not so quietly* and finally Brooke and AJ came down to join us.  After enjoying some more of the parade we got dressed and went on our Thanksgiving Hike.  When we got home I put the parade back on so I could get some of the two hours of cooking done and Alex fell asleep with all the noise at 1pm.  He got a short nap before being woken for dinner at 2pm because AJ had to leave for work a little after 3pm.  After playing outside and enjoying the afternoon Brooke helped me decorate the playhouse.  It was a great thanksgiving!
