aspen's 1st thanksgiving

We went to Tony's house for Thanksgiving. Jon made a bunch of side dishes: creamed spinach, pureed cauliflower, butternut squash risotto, corn, and I made tiramisu and spiced pecans. Tony made a deep-fried turkey (yum!) and a roasted turkey. His sister-in-law, Janet, made an apple pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato casserole and cranberry sauce. It was a true feast and oddly, I did not stuff myself, but I did go for seconds with Tony. Nursing calories! Fallon made headdresses for herself and Tony. There were no kids, but she had a blast with Uncle Walter (Christina's dad) while Aspen slept away in her car seat the until after dinner! We love going to Tony's - it's always fun, comfortable and feels like family when we're so far away from home. It was a very nice, laid back Thanksgiving and we do have a lot to be thankful for. We are blessed with 2 very happy and healthy girls. They are amazing and make me a better person everyday. Click photo to see larger.
