Thanksgiving and weekend review in pics

Our holiday weekend started on Thursday morning as we watched the entire 3 hours of Macy's parade. Note to self: watch the last 30 minutes and you'll be just as satisfied.
Before heading over to my mom's we hung out with Ry's parents. They spoil us rotten with early X-Mas gifts. This year a nativity set and sonic power tooth brushes. My pearly whites thank you.
We took a few pics before heading out.
D and his beloved Emery, the chugger (it's a train for those that don't speak preschool).
We inhaled awesome food.
Even Kuba growled under the table for some scraps. He knows my mom is a sucker.
Friday morning with a major sinus headache I had to rally myself to put the tree up.
I survived.
D loves the tree. He just sat there and starred at it.
But he was more obsessed with the Dickens village I put up in the family room.
It included daddy's tree, we like mixing classic and science fiction.
Darth Vader made his annual debut along with all the ships of the galaxy.
Saturday we ventured out and picked up an additional piece to the village, Daniel's latest obsession, CLOCKS. Behold a clock tower.
He carried this thing all over the store. It doesn't even do anything but he loves it.
Since D failed to nap during the day I took advantage of putting him down early while Ry went out with a couple of friends. My plan to take a bath and watch a chick flick failed as I fell asleep before the little man did.
Today we went to Hallmark, our annual trip to pick one ornament out for D and one for our family.
A train and a candy cane (the candy cane was compliments of the store manager, he gave it to D and told him Santa would find him if he put it on the tree)
Then we saw this...
Disney clock ornament
It was perfect, this year was our first time going to Disney and then to put a clock in it, well...u know what happened.
He turned it
and turned it
and the tune will not get out of my head
He loves it. The train is ignored for now but it's so sweet seeing 4 years of ornaments that represent his interests.
2008-baby's first x-mas with a picture of a chubby baby (soft foods were his thing at the time)
2009-a fisher price school bus that reminded us of his obsession that seems forever ago
2010-CARS, how can we forget watching that movie over and over
2011-A Lionel train, our favorite past time which has also become annoying to hear
D: "you need to build me a new track"
Us: "we just built you a new one"
D: "OK tomorrow morning then".
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
