First Thanksgiving!

This is late (of course) but we celebrated Em's first Thanksgiving! We didn't make nearly as much food as we normally do (it's only the three of us!) but we ate a feast!

We pulled out and washed all of Grandma Zola's black china and made lots of food. I didn't really take any good pictures of the food, but just know that it was SOOO good.

Big bird. Amazing stuffing. Home made rolls. Mashed potatoes with half and half and BACON FAT. Yes. Green beans and bacon. And more bacon fat! Pumpkin pie. Tons of gravy that even had a little bit of... YES bacon fat!

( The weird thing is that I lost weight over Thanksgiving! Think maybe there is a connection between bacon fat and weight loss?! A girl can dream right. )

 

Our little family. Well it would have been if Em had looked in the Camera and not at my face! All 8 times we tried to take this picture around her high chair! Haha

 

My plate!

 

Up until Thanksgiving, Em had been on a vegetarian only diet. I wanted to get the go ahead from her pediatrician to give her a little bit of meat. She loved it! We still don't give her red meat or anything too out there, but she did love the turkey!

 

 



And this is our little family once we (all three of us!) stuffed ourselves full of food! We called this look Turkey stoned!
