What we are Thankful for....

Today, we were very thankful to cook our first Thanksgiving in our new kitchen. And, more important, we had our first Thanksgiving with Morgan. There's nothing we're more thankful for than that.

Our morning started off with Morgan watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade with her Aunt Lindsay and Aunt Jenny. Her favorites were the Sesame Street Float, and Rick Astley.

After a nap, Morgan was ready for the big meal!

Our Thanksgiving table (notice the little hand at the bottom).



The happy Pilgrim



While we gorged ourselves on turkey roasted with herb and bacon butter and apple cider gravy, parsnips, mashed potatoes, and cranberry-cherry chutney. Morgan's meal consisted of sweet potato and oatmeal, which she decided to eat with her hands. (Hey, it's Thanksgiving... she's thankful for her ever-improving hand-eye coordination.)



Most of the meal ended up on her face but she got some in her mouth too.



She was pretty pleased with herself.



After her big dinner, Morgan asked Aunt Lindsay to help her with her crawling technique. Morgan thought this was hilarious. (See video below.)



Morgan capped off day by kicking off her socks and reading a story with Mom.
