You would think I never feed him

Charlie does this weird thing where he hides food under his chin as if he is saving it for later. I don't remember when it started, but it is definitely one of his "things". Maybe in his past life he went hungry during the depression? Maybe Ellie steals food from him when I am not looking? Or possibly this is the way his middle child syndrome is manifesting itself?

Thanksgiving 2010

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  We have had a wonderful day so far.  Just like last year we headed into the city to watch the big parade.  It was awesome. Just like last year, I cried.  Hmm... this year I can't blame it on pregnancy hormones so I guess I'll just chalk it up to magic. We saw all of the floats and balloons. We cheered on Elmo and Sam I Am as they rounded the corner without incident. Frosty, on the other hand, didn't fare so well.  They cut him free from the street light and all was good.  Oh and it snowed.  That pretty much sealed the deal that this is the most perfect day ever.

As soon as we got home Ellie and I got to work on our Thanksgiving feast, while Chris helped out around the kitchen and entertained the boys. I reiterated to her while a woman's place isn't necessarily in the kitchen, it certainly warms your heart to prepare a meal for your family that you know they truly appreciate.

Here are some pictures from our morning.  I'm off to enjoy the family and another mimosa while the turkey finishes up in the oven.
