Thanksgiving at the Garden

Since we didn't go anywhere for Thanksgiving this year I took the kids to the Garden while Chris made tamales.  Only Chris didn't make tamales as he didn't have the appropriate corn husks.  We had some quite yummy pulled pork though.  We will make it into tamales once we get the husks.  The kids and I had a great day at the garden.  The garden trains were out so the kids were fascinated by them.  GMan was very concerned when one wasn't running.  He kept telling the people who worked there that the train wasn't working since he wanted to make sure it wasn't malfunctioning.  Since there weren't a lot of people around I let the twins crawl around on the ground.  They liked looking at the poinsettias up close and getting a non-stroller view of things.  Everyone gave them wide berth and mentioned how cute they are.  We also watched "Grinch" at night and everything seems to be going to put up the Christmas tree tomorrow.  We finally got a new one.  Chris decided that he wasn't putting up the old one again.  It is the one we got the first year we got married.  The lights on the pre-lit tree haven't worked for years and the limbs are falling out.  I think we got our $200 worth out of the tree though.  It was a good one and went to Arkansas Illinois North Carolina and Missouri.  :)

Here are the pictures for the garden day though.

GMan concerned that the Thomas under this tree wasn't running.
