stuffed

I'm going to make this one short (on words, not pictures...you do know who this is, right?). we had a lovely thanksgiving holiday stuffed full of food, fun, friends, and family.

toss in a dash of macy's thanksgiving day parade and all is right in my world. it was perfect! henry seized the opportunity to try his first ever ham and turkey. we took all of the screech's and mmmm's to mean, "yes, please!" what can I say, this kid LOVES to eat!

this first holiday without grandpa was not easy. although we could sense the hole, we could all feel his presence and knew that he was smiling down on us. oh, and I say that it was grandpa who gave me permission to take "just a little bit of everything" from the dessert table...with a half-cup of coffee to boot. that-a-way.

and so begins the rush of the holiday season. we are in full christmas mode now. more on that soon!
