Happy Thanksgiving, and A Week of Thanks, Day 5

We had a full day today with visits to both sides of the family.  We started the day hanging out at home and watching the parade while getting food ready.  Then it was off to Grandma's for lunch.  Ada has been having some separation anxiety issues just lately, so we weren't sure how things would go, but she did great and enjoyed playing with and being held by everyone.

 Lunch was SO delicious, as always.  You can never have enough of my Grandma's cooking!

Great-Grandma tries to convince Ada she should only look at the pretty trivet and not eat it...

Our second stop of the day was at Chris' Aunt & Uncle's house.  Ada received lots of attention (they have 3 little girls that love babies), and loved it. :)

Ada loved these maracas; definitely going to have to go on the Christmas list. :)

...and here she is being mesmerized by a flashing light-up toy. :)

And finally the perfect end to a Thanksgiving Day, a delicious piece of pumpkin pie.

Today I have been thankful for so many things; a quiet house in the morning, being able to substitute the walnuts I did have on hand for the pecans I forgot to buy, gathering with so many family members, and a sweet little girl who slept the entire car ride home.

Happy Thanksgiving!
