Thanksgiving

We are all preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Emptying the bellies for the biggest meal of the year. This is my favorite holiday. To me it signals the beginning of winter and the chance to eat my dad's smoked turkey and stuffing. I love spending time with my family as we begin the festivities in the late afternoon. This will be Matilda's first and I am planning on bringing her pureed sweet potatoes so she can eat with all of us at the table. It is also a special year because the Frisbys are here from England to partake with us. I think they are all really excited about the whole experience. David is even getting into the swing of things by making spiced red cabbage and a sweet potato dish. Bart will be making his signature mashed potatoes. They are leaving Saturday so I don't think they will be able to hit many of the after Thanksgiving sales, but Yuki and I may sneak off to a few children's shops.

On a parting note, Matilda's first tooth is now through her gums. She still has a cold, but I took her to the doctor during the week and she gave her the all clear. She seems to be getting better every day. Her five month check up is next week.
