We spent Thanksgiving this year in Brooklyn with the Blums. Jeanne, Jake, and Asa all went up to Brooklyn on Tuesday. Josh, Cherie and Lily were already in Schoharie, NY (where we were to have Thanksgiving dinner) getting ready for the crowd. We were going to drive up there after laying over in Brooklyn to make the trip easier for the boys. On Wednesday, the dinner was moved to Brooklyn, so we didn't have to drive any further. While it was the three of us in Brooklyn, we rode the subway into Manhattan by ourselves for the first time. We visited the Museum of Natural History and got to see the floats being filled for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. After being joined by the Blums on Wednesday, we went to Pearl River in China Town and to Rockefeller Center to see the ice skaters. John and Sandra arrived late Wednesday night, and then we had a nice and quiet Thanksgiving dinner. Just the Blums, the Smiths and two friends of the Blums. It was much smaller than the usual great feast with Josh and Cherie. But it was so good to spend time with our good friends. Lily is really growing. Walking and talking and playing with Jake and Asa. The three of them really enjoyed playing together. Jeanne and Mr. Henry bonded over walks alone in the freezing temperatures. We are looking forward to hosting our first Christmas at our new home in the country.
