Thanksgiving 2009

We're thankful for so many things this Thanksgiving...

We're thankful for feasts at preschool, where the favorite dishes are kiwi, macaroni and cheese, and cupcakes.


We're thankful to live in such a beautiful place, where two little people can accompany us on a three mile hike without a stroller (many shoulder rides were given on the final stretch home).


We're thankful for four-year-old cheerleaders declaring, "Our Mommy is going to win!" and plentiful high-fives at the end of the neighborhood 5K Turkey Trot.


We're thankful to celebrate the holiday surrounded by family, and many helpers in the kitchen. Ryan makes a terrific pear, cranberry and walnut green salad.


We're thankful to have graduated to the "transition table" at our family Thanksgiving so Lucie, Ryan and cousins Maggie, Milo, and Julie could take over the kids table.



We're thankful for holiday plays organized by Katie and Aunt Betsy where everyone gets stage fright and forgets their lines.


We're thankful for one little turkey who spent the entire drive home (at 10:30 at night) wide awake, playing "I-Spy" with his Uncle Andrew and giving minute-by-minute traffic reports. We're just hoping he'll sleep in this weekend...

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
