Thanksgiving 2009

It was a great Thanksgiving, Griffin and I went to Ct and spend the time with my family.

Andrew stayed in Maine to work on our kitchen, it is coming right along. It looks beautiful. We stayed with my sister and her gaggle of children .. only four teenagers but still there is never a dull moment, that was non stop, laughs, jokes and my favorite, eating. They sure do know how to put the food away, esp my youngest niece, she polished off a pint of cookies and cream ice cream in like 15 minutes. She reminds me of myself back in the day, eating cheesecake for breakfast! Wednesday my nieces and I went to my mom's and helped her with the veggies and desserts. She prepared all the food at her house and my sister and I transported it for her. Her turkey, stuffing and gravy is worth the drive home itself! I could drink her gravy it has a taste like no other. And to think it comes from a can she just adds salt and pepper! Just Kidding, Nora! There were almost 30 people at my sisters for Thanksgiving. This year we were joined by my brother in laws parents... not sure if they knew there were going to be so many people. It was a great time. There were 3 turkeys and every veggie imaginable. The desserts, oh I could've eaten them by themselves. Some chocolate honey bee cake that was covered in rich chocolate.

It was great seeing my family and watching Griffin have so much fun with everyone. My sister was able to get her nephew fix, when she rocked him to sleep at 10pm after many attempts over 3 hours. He really knows how to prolong going to bed. Much like his mother!!
