This post is long overdue... The Macy's Day Parade

Wow, I'm really out of blog practice... these pictures are all in the reverse order!!
Anyway...

We took Niya to the 84th annual Macy's day parade this year in NYC. It was awesome! We took the train into the city and Niya loved it. The entire time she was jumping up and down in her seat and saying "Thomas, Thomas the train!" She thinks all trains are Thomas the train... and she sings the music... it was so funny.
The weather was perfect... cold (as expected) but also pretty perfect (we didn't get rained on or snowed on). Niya had the perfect view on our shoulders and watched the entire parade. Toward the end she started to get a little tired and droopy... sometimes laying on one of our heads... but she was up and managed to wave at Santa at the end! It was a great day!

Awestruck by one of the balloons... Hello Kitty I think; that one was her favorite! Or, maybe a close second to the giant pumpkin balloons... she kept saying "Hold it?! Hold it?!" which was pretty funny because the pumpkins were like 30 ft. tall.

Waiting patiently for things to begin
Here we are... toward the end... Niya is looking sleepy!

My little "ear warmer" watching the parade!
Although not our traditional Thanksgiving, we had a wonderful time and felt like we had a "Big Adventure"!
