This year, we travelled to Hoboken to celebrate Thanksgiving with my Aunt Priscilla. It was the 5 of us plus Priscilla's pal Anne who became Margot's new buddy.
We brought our own Butterball turkey to dinner.
We were determined to take our Christmas card photo on Thanksgiving so I could order it and cross it off my list. Thanks to Priscilla and Anne who took about a million shots, we got "the" pic. Here's one of he out-takes...Margot looks non-plussed while Wilkins looks like he's had too much turkey:)
We by-passed the Black Friday madness and went to Brooklyn on Friday for lunch and a stroll around Park Slope. It was bitter cold, but so much fun to be out on an adventure! Margot worked in a nap in the stroller, thank goodness.
Margot loved riding the train. All she kept saying was "another train?" over and over, hoping we were going on another train. She seemed a little spooked at first, and then couldn't get enough of it all.
On Saturday, we drove up to Piermont, NY to visit the Balascios in their new digs! Stokie and Dan surprised us which was awesome. It was so much fun to catch up and have everyone all together.

The 4 hour drive north was just the right amount for us to feel like we were getting away, without being too far of a ride for the kids. We got our fill of NYC pizza and bagels and loved being with family and friends.
Thanks for having us Priscilla!
