Thanksgiving in Springfield

Ernie doesn't really get much screen time so the 98th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was really must-see tv.

We packed up our stuff in St. Louis and

made an appearance at Nick's Thanksgiving in Springfield, IL.

Ern was introduced to the cookie of our Italian people: the pizzelle.

Back at Baba Nana's house we played with some of dada's old toy relics.

The ceiling fan remote was also a big hit.

We got out my Sesame Street instruments and jammed out. It's funny some of my Sesame Street merch predates Elmo, who is of course Ern babe's favorite.

Today I got to have a Thanksgiving lunch with Ern at his school.

I'm always thankful for quality time with my little buddy.

We took a flight to St. Louis later that evening.

Grams is always waiting for us at the airport. She's so nice.

We explored our fun Airbnb a bit before bed.

Ernie's Homemade Rolls

Today we had Zoe and our friends Derek and Gabby over for Thanksgiving.

A lot of photos were taken.

Now the trick is setting up the blocks and taking a halfway decent photo before the bulldozer notices the undestroyed structure.

Lydia's social media post of these pics listen Ernie's favorite things as:

"trying new foods

looking at faces

rolling both directions

twisting his wrists

FaceTiming

Baths

Being in bed on time"

Lydia did a good job cooking some good stuff. I usually do something that is hard to screw up like the green bean casserole.

When he was done eating we gave Ernie the Wernie a turkey bone to chew on.

After dinner we played some board games. A hoot was had.
