thanksgiving 2011

check it off the bucket list. chicago's huge colorful thanksgiving day parade.

happy thanksgiving!
here is a look at how we enjoyed turkey on thanksgiving morning.
tom turkey's giant cousin
three of the four in the miller clan made it to state street by 7:20am. we hired a sitter to keep harry warm and rested at home. We decided this was the year to do the parade as its the last year jude makes the 3&under ticket price of free for the bleacher seats. the tickets included breakfast. this may be the first time cookie made it on jude's breakfast menu.

sweet time at the parade
the bleachers include a view of the first hour of televised musical performances. honestly about 30 minutes would have been enough. but once the parade began it was amazing.

he really is a big bird
the many giant balloons in the parade required a team of handlers. check out how small they are below that giant big bird:
don't let this bird fly away
a highlight of the parade for jude was ronald mcdonald. you may know that he calls mickey d's "chicken fries". later he told friend he saw ronald mcdonald "in a chicken fries shoe".

hey ronald!

we missed celebrating with our families this year but we are thankful for all the memories of this special holiday event.
