Turkey Day continues

We continued our long Thanksgiving weekend in Yreka along with Gram and Pop and Grandma and Grandpa. Aunt Jane (my dad's sister) and Uncle Drew arrived on Friday. Ben and Sam had so much fun playing with Aunt Jane. They built towers, buildings, and structures using the wooden blocks that Pop made for them. Aunt Jane and Uncle Drew are expecting their first grandchild in March and seemed to be taking the opportunity to “practice” with our boys. It seemed to be fun for all of them.
During the weekend it also seemed that Sam had all but given up on crawling unless he is in a big hurry to get somewhere. He loved having lots of furniture and people to grab on to while cruising around. He especially loved having the wall of the long hallway in Gram's house to help him walk.
On Saturday morning we attended the Yreka Holiday Parade. It was a first for both boys to watch a parade since the only other parade they've attended is the 4th of July parade in Incline which they've been in.
Ben loved the school marching bands and kept asking when another band was coming. He and Sam liked all the fire trucks with their loud sirens. We saw some other extended family members and enjoyed the sunny morning.
Later that day we all watched the Civil War Game between Oregon and Oregon State. Jane and Drew are big Beaver fans and were sad to see the loss to the Ducks. Thank goodness for leftover pie to soothe them.
