Happy Turkey Day!

This was our first Thanksgiving as a family of three and it was FABULOUS! We started the day off with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade - Aubrey sat in her swing and watched it with us while Corey and I made sweet potato casserole. Around lunchtime, we headed over to my parents house for Thanksgiving dinner. My dad fried a turkey (YUM!) and we had ham, green bean bundles, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, corn pudding, deviled eggs, and two different kinds of pies! After indulging in all of the fabulous food and spending time with family, it was time to go home and take a nap! Isn't Aubrey just adorable in her turkey shirt?!? Friday morning my mom and I headed out bright and early for Black Friday bargains while Aubrey stayed home with Corey. We were at Wal-Mart by 5am and it was packed!! There were specific things that we were after so we went in, found what we were looking for, and left! Then it was on to the mall - it was pretty crowded too, but nearly as chaotic as WalMart. By 9am we were finished shopping and it was time to head home for a quick nap. Traditionally Corey and I have Thanksgiving dinner with his family on Friday - its just easier to split it up into two separate days. That way we get to spend more time with each family, we get to enjoy dinner twice, and we go home with twice the left-overs. So after a nap for me and one for Aubrey, we headed down to the Kennedys for another delicious Thanksgiving dinner. All in all, our first Thanksgiving with Aubrey Claire was very special!!
