Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2011 started off with the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Parade. Thanks to MaryBeth for being experienced (20 years) with all of the details to have a great day without any problems!We were able to stay in a nice warm lobby of one of the buildings downtown and even have breakfast there. Then we took a short walk to the area she and her friends had saved with tents. We were right on the curb to see the parade with a front row seat! The kids had a blast! The crowd chanted "spin it" as the balloons came by to encourage them to turn around in a circle. Our kids caught on quickly and joined in the chanting! And the Rudolph household has had many kid parades recently with demonstrations of the spinning balloons! Here are some of the many pictures I took...I have the entire collection on our computer if you are interested ...ha ha!

The kids wrote letters to Santa. The mailmen came by to collect and deliver them!
