Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! We are very sad that we've been absent from our blog lately, but we've been busy playing with visitors and helping Mommy recover.

This Thanksgiving Mommy is grateful for all of the help, prayers, and well-wishes she's received in her recovery from surgery. It's been a slow road, but hopefully a successful one! Mommy is also grateful for catered Turkey Day meals so she doesn't have to cook.This year, Daddy is thankful that the Packers won their Thanksgiving Day game. He also says he doesn't know why Mommy dressed us up for the day as we are not going anywhere special. Mommy says any day is a good day to dress up, especially holidays. We told him it's cool to be fancy. And that's that.

Elyse: I'm especially grateful for all of the fun time I've been able to spend with my many grandmas lately. It's been loads and loads of fun!

Felicity: Thumbs up on the outfit Mom!
What am I grateful for? Well, everything really (as I love to say "thank you" all of the time), but most of all, I'm thankful for the small things in life--like snack time, Mickey Mouse, and cheese.

Here's our great-grandma (one-half of The Greats, remember?). We are so happy she was able to stay to help Mommy and hang out for Thanksgiving. We love you!

And just because it's been so long since we've posted, we thought we'd give you a little glimpse into our Thanksgiving-morning tradition: watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, of course! Here we are in our seats, waiting for caramel rolls and sausage (good breakfast fare), and getting ready to cheer for our favorite balloons:

Did you see how big that Mickey Mouse is? H-U-G-E!!! Can we get one of those?

After breakfast treats, we lounged in style while watching the events on 34th street. Maybe one of these years we'll go to NYC to see it in person! We had such a great time watching the parade in our jammies.

One final thing we have to mention on this day of gratitude. We were so lucky to have Mommy's BFF, Kate, also come to play with us and help out while Mommy recovered. She was so much fun, brought us a bounty of presents, and was basically the coolest cat around. We would've posted about her trip earlier, but we were a little pre-occupied with our crazy happenings and other visitors! Thanks for everything Kate! We love you!
