Thanksgiving 2013

We had a very restful thanksgiving as a family of three. 

It was a bitter cold day with a simply nasty mean wind.  We went out for a little walk with Jaime bundled into the stroller so we could see the people lining up for the parade. I am not sure what Jaime thought of all the characters he saw but he had big eyes taking it all in.  We headed to a spot for watching the parade but it was just way to cold to stand out there.

So back at home we turned on the tv to watch some of the parade and I made some pumpkin muffins. Watching tv is such a treat for Jaime as he has had extremely limited viewing opportunities. The muffins were a hit with all three of us. We also had a family naptime of course.

For dinner we decided to go out. We went to Sarabeth's on Amsterdam between 81st and 80th. This was the first time I had gone out to a restaurant for a holiday meal. I was a little nervous about how it was going to go down as Jaime was in a picky eating phase after his massive illness a week prior.  But he enjoyed it and looked so cute. And the meal was delicious... without any dishes.

After dinner the little man wanted to walk. So the three of us walked back up to 86th St at toddler speed. Jaime said hi to everyone we passed and checked everything out... including our shadows. It was a lot of fun with a lot of laughter.

After we got back home silliness ensued.  Jaime took a few selfies and somehow ended up running around the apartment half changed into pjs with a onesie.

It was a nice holiday with lots of quality family time.
