The Parry Shorts: Thanksgiving Weekend

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It was so nice to have a break from work and enjoy the holiday with family and friends! We ate well, got some shopping in, took a couple of naps, and started putting up all the Xmas decor. Our family spent Wednesday and Thursday at the Parry house in Morganville. Thursday morning led to some excitement as it was decided that today was the day to cut down a huge tree at Grandma's house. I missed the excitement, but got in on the picture fun afterward--between saws, tractors, and people, the tree fell down. Caden was scared with all the noise, but afterwards was super excited that Daddy pushed down that tree! Only at the Parry's do people cut down huge trees on Thanksgiving!

Grandma Dorothy Parry with her fallen tree and most of her children and their spouses!

Aunt Mary is showing cousins Caden and Mason how cute they are!

Besides cutting down a tree, the Parry family also put in a new swing door for Grandma.
Busy, Busy Bees!--and did I mention raking leaves?!

Caden and Mason had a blast playing in the leaves.

Brynn got some outside time as well with cousin Amber.

It was a long day--finally a short nap with Grandma.

Friday

Some shopping, some naps, and time to put up the Xmas lights--Caden was a big help telling daddy where to put the lights and Brynn supervised. Caden is already facinated by Christmas and all the lights and trees. The joys of a 2 1/2 year old!

Saturday

Saturday took us to Ellsworth for Thanksgiving with my parents. Once again we ate well, watched some football and spent time at the park. Layne and I also got to enjoy their new hottub. We are sure thankful for all our family!
