We had a great Thanksgiving this year.
Our day started off with watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade while we ate breakfast & got ready for our day. I love the Thanksgiving Day parade (It is on my bucket list to go to NY and watch it live)
Then, it was off to the horse races!
For the past 50 years, Kevin's family has gone to the Horse Races on Thanksgiving Day.
It is such a fun tradition! I love going to the horse races
(It is also on my Bucket List to go to the Kentucky Derby one day!)
Because Kevin's family has done this for so long, they get a race dedicated to them & we get to go down to the track during that race to watch it up close & then you get your picture taken with the winning jockey.
It is the best seat in the house!
It is so fun to see the horses up so close, Horse #6, For the Win!

Here is a picture of some of our family with the winning jockey:
The girls also got their picture taken with some other jockeys because their outfits were pink & they wanted pictures with the pink jockeys!
One of my favorite parts about the races is the amazing breakfast buffet.Eggs benedict, hashbrowns & bacon. Lots and lots of bacon. And, a mimosa, of course!
It was a fun day at the races. Then we headed back to our house & passed out Pumpkin Bread to all the people on our court.
Fall has finally arrived & our trees are bursting with color!
For dinner, we headed to my parents. I didn't get any pictures of the food, but it was SO good.My mom & sister Elyse slaved away all day in the kitchen and made an amazing Thanksgiving Feast.
One of my favorite moments of the night was when we were watching the 49er game & Kate told me she wanted to take a family picture of my family (just my parents & sisters). It was so cute.Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Having a week off school was glorious, but now I am back to reality.
Just 3 more weeks until Christmas Break. I can't wait! I love this time of year!
You must get to the parade...we went when we were first married and it is definitely a great experience. How fun about the horse races...the girls look so cute with the jockey. Bacon...that makes any holiday (we had bacon too!). Looks like you all had a wonderful time.

ReplyDeleteI hear you have to get up way too early to get a good seat to watch the parade. I am so not a morning person, but I think I could do it for this occasion. :) Great pictures!
