Trip to Michigan

We spent Thanksgiving with our dear friends, Isaac, Emily and baby Addie Belle.  It was a lovely few days - full of delicious meals, cold walks, reading, tent-making, snuggles and good conversation.

Thanks for having us, friends!

2013 Thanksgiving (a bit late!) :)

We had a splendid Thanksgiving this year - once again with our friends the Sinclair family, and Jane's folks and brother were in town to join in as well.  Celtic Sea salt in and on the turkey made it juicy and tender and we enjoyed a variety of delicious sides. :) 

So fun to have a full table!

Wee Matilda had her first taste of food on Thanksgiving, since it marked her 6 month point!  She loved turkey and sweet potatoes. :)

Leah kept climbing up on Meredith's Grandaddy's lap throughout the day.  So sweet... and Meredith was happy to share her Grandaddy with her friend. :)

During tea and dessert the guys had a competition with block structures - how many blocks could balance on one block before it toppled.  I think the winner broke 200!

Baby girl friends - just 6 months apart!

Thanksgiving 2010

We had a lovely, simple Thanksgiving celebration at home this year. Erik's sister, Aleksa, visited us from Chicago - yay! She helped with the food preparations on Wednesday and gave excellent moral support with the cooking of the turkey on Thursday. :-) We are really enjoying her time with us and all the time she's spending with MJ.

Meredith had a bit of a rough day of teething on Thanksgiving (Aleksa is her kind sympathizer in this photo)...but, it was worth it because a tooth popped through this morning!

The festive table!
Ah...the spread!

I think the sweet potato-pear puree was a favorite for everyone - it definitely had MJ's vote!
