Thankful

... for many things, most of which were enumerated at our Thanksgiving table last week. It was so nice to be able to host and have family come to us this year, it felt really special. It also felt special to have our kids in their own beds so thanks again, Katy and Dario!

So today: a day with naps thwarted by a car ride that was just long enough for Finn to fall asleep for 20 minutes and then totally fresh the rest of the afternoon. My saving grace as Andrew is on his way home was F's early bedtime. It's 8 pm and they are both asleep so let's not discuss it. Let's just go downstairs to chop cauliflower. But first, a few photos.

Enzo totally gets my love of the butler's pantry.

It was my first time doing a turkey and it was definitely a group effort but whoo, was it good. As far as turkey goes, anyway. It (he? it?) was delicious.

We are lucky to have a baker such as Heather in the family, don't you agree?

Last Saturday night Andrew and Finn braved the cold on Market Street to watch the Parade of Lights. Finn was so excited about the lit-up trucks, I don't think he even noticed that he couldn't feel his feet when he got home!
