Hanging out with Daddy while he eats breakfast. Took him to work since transit was on the less frequent holiday schedule.
After making a cake for dinner tonight, the girls started watching the Macy's parade.
Lunch and the end of the parade.
We read several books about Thanksgiving this week. We did a few crafts too. Eleanor copies the name "Mayflower" on to her boat.
Claire's finished boat.
The Mayflower and the Speedwell. One of our books said that there were actually two boats that left England and that the Speedwell couldn't make the trip because it was leaking. So, instead of two Mayflowers, the smaller boat got renamed.
Drying hair post-bath.
Claire gets tucked in with her friends.
Had to wake her to head to Thanksgiving at a friend's house.
Claire plays with a truck. The family we celebrated Thanksgiving with has three boys.
Eleanor and Claire wait for their turns to play "basketball."
Kids table.
Eleanor shows off the turkey made out of cookies, chocolate, and candy corn. And a cut--caused by a light saber to the forehead.
It was a deep and jagged enough cut to warrant a trip to see Daddy. As Daddy preps for stitching, Eleanor gets to play with his phone.
Claire didn't want to be left out of the picture-taking so here's one of her by request.
Watching as Daddy preps Eleanor's forehead with numbing medicine.
Post-stitches drawing on the dry erase board.
She was SUCH a trooper getting this done! Held still, no crying--amazing. We were impressed!
Ice cream from the vending machine for doing such a good job.
Enjoying her treat.
Entertaining herself by "jumping hurdles" in the empty cafeteria--there's not much activity at 9pm on Thanksgiving. Tonight I was very thankful for the way our family works together, especially in unexpected moments like these. So thankful for Erik, Eleanor, and Claire!
