Thanksgiving in New York

After traveling through the night, sleeping for four hours (maybe) and a three hour layover in Salt Lake City, we finally made it to NYC this morning at 5:30 am. My parents picked us up and we jetted downtown to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was the first time for all of us and it was an amazing experience that we will never forget. (see fotos below) The streets were packed, and the parade was well done. The air was filled with energy, and the childrens’ faces were totally priceless. Saw some really cool floats and some famous faces. Highlight of the day for sure was Jimmy Fallon and the Roots. I may have cried a little…I was excited. Then, on our way out of town we saw Jack McBrayer just walking down the street!

We headed home, took a nap, and then had one of the MOST delicious Thanksgiving meals EVER. Hats off to you, Momma. You are a gifted cook and we were blessed to sit at your table tonight. Spent some time with Grammie Grammie after not seeing her for the last year. That was wonderful. She’s 96 going on 16 and is headed down to Florida for the winter after we leave on Sunday.

A fantastic day. Looking forward to some time with friends over the next few days and more time here at home with the family. So thankful for everything we are blessed with in our lives.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
