Thanksgiving was a quiet, but fun, event this year.

On Wednesday, Patrick and Finnegan (dressed in their turkey hats from school)

helped me make mini pumpkin pies.

They were delicious!

Thanksgiving Day started out with a yummy breakfast,

complete with a great fruit treat from NaNa and Pop Pop.

After breakfast, we headed uptown to the Charlotte Thanksgiving Day Parade.

We had so much fun watching the marching bands, cheerleaders and floats go by,

that no one even noticed the rain.

The boys made their own parade on the way back to the car.

Once we returned home, it was time to prepare for dinner. Patrick and Finnegan assisted with every part of the meal. They made the stuffing and turkey with Gill and then helped me with the sweet potatoes and green beans.

Sully was ready for his first Thanksgiving,

as was Gill, complete with sparkling cider for the boys.

Let the feast begin!

Patrick refused to have anything on his plate but Pumpkin Bread,

but Finnegan was a good sport and tried it all.

After dinner, we went for a walk around the neighborhood before returning home for mini pumpkin pies.

I am so thankful for my family and the wonderful holiday we spent together.

Happy Thanksgiving!
