And finally - T-Day

What?! Thanksgiving Dinner outside? Yes, it was such a lovely day. Such a lovely day as that. And with all hands pitching in, we had quite a spread - including some "firsts" for our group of chefs with Rebecca's roasted veggies and Rita's sweet potato pie, plus Rachel & Marianthy's beautiful table and place cards; also most of the classics and a huge dessert table. [The blueberry coffeecake was supposed to be for the next day's breakfast, but Rachel spotted it and stuck it on the table and it got gobbled down. Whatever it takes to keep a pregnant woman happy!]

We even managed a walk around the neighborhood and down to Westover Park in the late afternoon. (Oh and both Asher and Gemma still got in their afternoon naps!) Alex thrilled us with his acrobatics on the swings and Asher showed off his laughs and new teeth.

I am thankful for my family, in all its variety, spending the day joyfully in each other's company...Grandpa, Jaja, Gram, Pete, Rita, Liliana, Marianthy, Rebecca, Alex, Craig, Rachel, Asher, baby-girl-on-the-way, Jim, and Gemma!
