Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was pretty low key this year, but still a good one. This picture is Lorelei learning the very important jobs of preparing for the meal. You HAVE to eat the rolls right out of the oven to make sure they taste okay. :) I was in charge of mini pumpkin pies and rolls. Two of my favorite things to eat and bake. Plus no gross turkey to cook. Yay!

The other important tradition we continued is watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She actually enjoyed watching most of it. Her favorites were the dancers (at least if she fell copying them this time it would be on carpet), and a few select floats, especially Sesame Street!



Unfortunately the excitement must have gotten to her because she took a very short nap, which resulted in a melt down by around 7 at the Krenz house. We went over to Jon and Mirinda's house for a Thanksgiving supper and unfortunately had to head out pretty soon after we finished eating as the previously mentioned melt down occurred. It was great to have friends to visit with for the holiday. :)

This morning (Friday) I dared to go out at 4 AM for a trip to Kohls. It was packed but I found some good deals and it wasn't that bad. :) May have to do more than one store next year! We are having a great day today and all Christmas decorations are up, minus the trees. Think I will do those tonight...we'll see how Lorelei does with leaving all of them alone!
