Look it's still November (for a few more hours) and I'm doing a November post! I've had to be very studious to get this post done while it's still November (see below). Heehee.
"Okay, Mommy. Here's the plan..."
So, I had a super fun and wonderful Thanksgiving. First, we traveled to Valdosta (in the car) for Thanksgiving with family. Mommy forgot to take pictures while we were there, so you will just have to believe that it happened. I had a lot of fun playing with my cousins. Kerry has lots of fun toys that I really enjoyed, and I loved her dress up selection.
Elizabeth and Nathan cooked us a super yummy meal, and we had lots of fun family time!
The family even surprised Mommy and Daddy with a baby shower, and "Erkie" got lots of cute clothes and toys.
Then, we flew on an airplane to New York to visit my Uncle Thomas and celebrate Thanksgiving some more. I got to experience a lot of things for the first time ... rode on a bus to the airport, rode on a train in the airport, went on an airplane, met the pilot and got to fly the plane, rode the subway, rode in a taxi, saw a parade, and MORE!
Here I am in the airport, relaxing before our flight.
Boarding the plane.
Meeting the pilot.
He let me fly the plane (while safely on the ground, but a girl can pretend)!
He even remembered my name after the flight when we were getting off the plane!
Snow White was my co-pilot.
Ready for take-off.
We saw lots of awesome things in New York. Here is a HUGE tree with scaffolding all around. I hear that it's a pretty special tree.
Grampa held me up (with my stroller) so I could see the ice skaters at Rockefeller Center.
We got to watch Uncle Thomas ice skate at Bryant Park.
He can do some really cool tricks on the ice.
We rode on a really big boat called the Staten Island Ferry. We saw lots of water, big buildings, the Statue of Liberty, and more!
There was lots of room to dance and play on the ferry.
The Statue of Liberty!
I made a friend on the ferry boat.
She was wearing the same hair-do as me!
On Wednesday night we went to see the balloons being blown up for the Thanksgiving Day Parade. We were NOT the only people who had this idea. It seemed like there were MILLIONS of people walking around looking at the balloons with us. I was not allowed to get out of my stroller because Mommy was afraid I would get lost in the huge crowd.
Then on Thursday morning, we went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.
It was cold and we waited for a long time, but it was SO much fun!
We waited and waited, and saw lots of floats and balloons and marching bands, and finally Santa Claus!!!
Just a tiny bit of the crowd watching the parade.
Some of my favorite balloons and floats...
I even made friends with a police man who let me wear his hat.
When we got back home, I got to go to my first movie at the theater with Mommy, Daddy, Honey, and Pop.
We went to see Tangled, and I loved it! I have asked Mommy every day to go back and see it again.
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I love my family, and I am so thankful for everything that I have!
It's like the blessing I say every time we eat ...
"Thank you God for everything! A-men!"
