Our Thanksgiving Day began with watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade...of course. Have I mentioned that Matt marched in the parade back in high school with his school band? Pretty cool, huh! Watching it LIVE is still on my bucket list! Anyway, the kids cuddled up with their Nonnie and watched it on her bed!
After some parade watching and breakfast, we got dressed and took some pictures in front of their house. The kids looked darn cute, if you ask me.
Then, we packed up the cars and headed into NYC for our Thanksgiving meal at Matt's brother and sister-in-law's apartment in downtown Manhattan.
This was their first time hosting Thanksgiving and I think they did a phenomenal job. The food was delicious, the table looked magnificent, and the time with family and friends was priceless. Both of Matt's grandparents were there as well as some very close family friends. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, carrots, green beans, yams, stuffing, gravy, and a variety of pies for dessert! The kids sat at the kids table (coffee table) and had their own placesettings. Max even got to drink his apple juice out of a wine glass, which made him feel extra grown-up! The great part was that I didn't have to do any cooking myself (but I did help with the clean-up)...however, that won't be the case next year. I hope to host it at our house for the first time!
Once we had dessert and the kids began to get a little restless, we headed back to NJ and to bed.
I am truly thankful for such a wonderful family to be married into! We are so blessed to have them!

If there is one way in which you've been blessed (though I know there are many more) it certainly would have to be with your family. It must be so nice to have such wonderful, loving, welcoming people on BOTH SIDES!
And yes...the kids looked adorable! Love Cate's pumpkin sweater!
I love how they are draped and lounging all over their Nonnie. So cozy. Your Thankgiving dinner looked amazing. Love that you captured so many details and moments.
Great pictures and it sounds like you had a great time!
Ok, that sounded so wonderful! You must tell me how you are doing your pics these days...they look amazing too!
