Thanksgiving Day Traditions

On Wednesday, Nov. 21st we drove in to Michigan just in time for our annual Thanksgiving day traditions.

We woke up bright and early on Thursday morning to get to downtown Detroit for the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Everyone was out because the weather was so great! Great meaning 60 degrees instead of 20 degrees. While all the kiddos stood in the back of a truck and watched the parade, the adults spent time catching up and enjoying some delicious beverages that I was not able to partake in this year. Even though I spent most of the parade chatting and sharing the great news about Baby G, I was able to get a shot of the gigantic Mr. Turkey.

 
I can't wait for Baby G to go to his/her first Thanksgiving Day Parade next year in Detroit.
 
To keep the traditions going we stopped by the Town Pump before heading to the Lions game. It is a tradition that every year I take a picture with the Firefighters who are dressed like clowns and a picture in their clown car. The only thing missing this year was my wonderful friend Kelly. This was the first year she was not bartending at the Town Pump.
 
 

 
After this awesome photo, that is for sure going to have to go in the baby book, we headed to the long Lions game where of course it did not end in their favor. Then we headed back to James's moms house after the game so James could deep fry the turkey. After spending time with the family and a delicious Thanksgiving meal we were off to bed. It was a very exhausting and fun day!
