Thanksgiving Part I and Part II

On November 22, 2007 Ben celebrated his first Thanksgiving. We started the morning with his Moms tradition of watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade where we watched enormous floats like Ronald McDonald cover the street, the Rockettes doing their dance number and several of the High School Musical singers sing different holiday songs.

In the afternoon Ben was bundled up and taken to Gettysburg, PA where several family members and friends were there to greet the little guy. Ty, his cousin greeted him with sleeping eyes and several first hellos to Ben were made.

After a scrumptious thanksgiving dinner made by Mrs. Schuster was gobbled down by her 20 plus guests, we all sat around and caught up some more as our bellies took the chance to settle down.

The Little Family

Soon it was time to leave and the family was off to their next Thanksgiving location. We went to an architect named Lee's house in Ashburn where Ben's other Grandmother was celebrating with her friends. Ben again was greeted by smiles and ooh's and aah's at his cuteness. We also had a photo opportunity with Lee's oversize stuff animals that amazed and probably confused little Ben.
