Thanksgiving

(Diego playing on Thanksgiving)
We had a nice Thanksgiving at my parent's house. The food and company was good. Before we went to their house we watched the Macy's parade at home. We enjoyed it.

The two weeks before Thanksgiving we wrote down each day what we were thankful for on cut out leaves that we taped on the door. It was nice to rethink the day and be aware of all our many blessings. Eli was thankful for snow, toys, food, cousins, books, bacon, the dark, and Grandma and Grandpa's house. We guessed that Diego was thankful for naps, mommy, toys, milk, pears, medicine (he had medicine to get rid of an ear infection), baths, and that Eli and Papi made him laugh. Cesar and I were thankful for our children, food, family time spent together, our date, Sandra for babysitting, libraries, Snickers, etc...


Thanksgiving night we spent the night at my parent's house. We put the boys to sleep, watched a Christmas movie with my parents, and then went in the hot tub (it was so relaxing!). At midnight Cesar left to go Black Friday shopping! He didn't return until 7 a.m. He is so crazy! He bought a new laptop, he is going to sell his old one, a new suit that he desperately needed, and a new coat. In the morning my mom and I did a little shopping together while tired Cesar stayed home with the boys. He is a nice dad and husband!
