Turkey Day!

While Chris was out trotting with 14,000 other Buffalonians at the Turkey Trot, the boys and I enjoyed our traditionally lazy Thanksgiving morning.  We ate cinnamon buns with cream cheese frosting, sipped some hot cocoa (and whipped cream!), watched the parade and played a bevy of board games.  It was perfect.  It is truly a few hours I look forward to each and every year.

I finally changed out of my pjs around noon only so I would have a chance to take in some of the beautiful weather outside.  It was 60 degrees and sunny, a rarity for a Buffalo Thanksgiving.  The dog and I went on a marathon of a walk, stopping every few houses to exchange hellos and holiday greetings with most of my neighbors who were outside enjoying the sun.

We enjoyed turkey with Chris's family.  A whole lot of turkey, stuffing and assorted goodies.  On our way home, the boys pleaded to make a quick pit stop at my Aunt's house to see their cousins home from college.  A quick forty five minutes of family on my side made the holiday truly feel complete.

And now, let the holiday madness begin.  It's time to break out those Christmas carols, string up some lights and deck the walls of our home.
