Thanksgiving 2013

We celebrated Thanksgiving at the home we were renting for the week in FL.  We had Grandma Bette over, as well as Great Grandma Ruth and Aunt Barb and Uncle Dave who were visiting from Boston.  It was pretty great not having to make Thanksgiving but still being able to enjoy everything that comes with a Thanksgiving meal.  The meal was pre-purchased and so we just had to heat it up and everyone brought over some sides and dessert and wine to round out the dinner.

It was so nice to be able to sit and enjoy each other and have good conversation rather than sweating it out in the kitchen trying to finish everything all at once.

Katie playing as a puppy dog.  She makes really cute noises.

This puppy dog was all tuckered out before we even had any turkey!

Everything is ready and Uncle Dave is cutting the turkey.

We all sat in the 4 seasons room while our food digested.

Great Grandma, Grandma and Barb.

We had to wake her after letting her sleep for 3 hours.  She didn't want to get up.

 Friday we spent leisurely.

We walked around Lake Sumter Landing and stopped at Starbucks for some drinks and a cookie for the kids.

I think Star Trek was on but it could have been Star Wars.

The little people house and town was a favorite for the kids all week.

I even managed to squeeze in a few runs this week.  I tried to take advantage of the warmer FL weather.

Dinner at Red Lobster and she slept through the entire thing.

I used to not drink, then I had kids. :) Margarita at Red Lobster.

Taking the Monorail back to the airport terminal. 

A huge tree the kids ran around and around and around while we waited for our plane.

Getting creative on the flight home.

Noticing a pattern.  She took lots of naps the last 3 days of the trip.  This vacation really tired her out.

And just like that our vacation and holiday is over and we are back in NY.
