Thanksgiving 2013

We got about 6 inches of snow Tue-Wed of last week and so we took a walk on Thanksgiving morning.  It was a battle (to put it mildly) to get Parker in the snow pants, but eventually she enjoyed being outside.

We spent Thanksgiving at Papa G & Sandy's house.  Delicious food, great company, and a relaxing atmosphere made for a wonderful evening.  

On Friday, we took Parker to her first movie theater show to see the animated movie, Free Birds.  She sat on my lap the whole time and dozed off for a bit in the middle, but made it through the whole thing.  Afterwards, we sat her in her own chair, bad angles here....

After the movie, we grabbed lunch and then got a snippet of Parker singing on the way home.

We had every intention of going to a farm to cut down a tree this year, but between the cold temperatures all weekend (below 20 degrees much of the time) and lots of projects to work on at home, we decided to wimp out and go to a lot.  It was still a fun outing because we experienced our first Pittsford-style Christmas tree lot.  It was set up on property of Pittsford Dairy which is just off the main street of the village.  They had calves in a little manger, fire pits, and a resident dog named Tommy. 

Parker loved walking around among the trees and saying "It tickles" every time a branch rubbed her.  She also loved the calves, of course.
