Happy Thanksgiving

Since we will be gone for Thanksgiving this year, our family generously moved the celebration to today. It was a perfect day with all the things that make Thanksgiving so wonderful.

We started the day watching "Happy Thanksgiving Charlie Brown". Sofia especially loved the scene where Snoopy fights with the folding chair. She was laughing.



A pretty Thanksgiving dress....


A wonderful family....


A football game on TV that the Niners actually won....


A big old delicious bird....


Pretty flowers on the table....


A little plate of Thanksgiving goodness.....
Sofia has some pretty wierd tastes in food and will eat things that well, quite frankly, I would never expect a 22 month old child to eat. Case in point....today for dinner I cooked some pearl onions in a port reduction sauce. Yummy I know, but not something I would plan to put on my child's plate. Well, Sofia spyed the onions and knew they weren't dished up on her plate and she wanted to taste one. That was the beginning of the end. No potatoes and gravy were going to do now....it was onions all the way. In the end we had to hide the onions out of her sight just so there would be some left for everyone else. I am not looking forward to what all those onions are going to produce tomorrow (tmi I know!) but hey, she loved them and that is what matters.


And pie.....munkey pie....


We have a lot to be thankful for.
