Flashback: Thanksgiving Monday

On Thanksgiving Monday morning we got up bright and early and headed to Uptown Waterloo to take in the Oktoberfest parade. I have no idea who made the decision to start the parade at 8:30am but to get a decent seat, you need to get there by 7:30am! That's early even for us!

The boys and I waiting for the parade to start.

Checking down the street to see if anything is coming.

Beautiful fall colours.

Jacob was SO captivated by the parade. He sat very still in his stroller for quite a while.

The parade attracts MANY people.

:)

Watching the parade.

About half way through he was done sitting in the stroller and I ended up holding him. I'm glad he doesn't weigh more than he does!

We stayed just about to the end of the parade. Unfortunately it really started raining so we ended up just leaving. The kids were done watching anyways, I think. We headed home, had lunch and got the house ready for a visit from my family.

The table all set for our Thanksgiving/Logan's birthday meal.

Aren't I artistic?

Trying out his new glasses that came with a birthday gift.

Getting some help from Aunt Pamela to get his gifts open.

Thundersticks!

A great looking turkey!

Birthday cupcakes (gluten free).

Not sure what's going on...

He blew the candles out as soon as I put the plate down!

Pretty excited about the cupcakes.

Mmmm!

Jacob getting in on the cupcake action.

It was nice to have the whole family together to celebrate Logan's birthday.
