This year, since Eliza's birthday was the day before Thanksgiving, we gave her the choice of how she could celebrate it. She chose to go into NYC and see the balloon inflation for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Michael worked from home so that he could leave with the oldest four kids as soon as they got home at 1:30. I didn't go since I haven't been feeling very well and we didn't want to take Timmy and Katie into the city. They took the train in and then the subway to the place where they inflate the balloons. It was fairly cold and there were a lot of people there, but they had a great time anyway!
Dora was Eliza's favorite balloon...
My sister, Heather, and her family came to visit for the Thanksgiving weekend and had arrived at our house about half an hour before Michael and the kids got home. We had fun talking while the kids played, then we had a birthday cake for Eliza. After we had eaten, Heather, Willie, David, my mom and dad left and we went to bed! Happy 7th Birthday, Eliza!
