Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you enjoyed your Turkey Day as much as we did, and we are so Thankful for our family, friends and delicious food! We celebrated Andy's first Thanksgiving, although unlike the girl's first Thanksgiving, he wasn't able to sample any of the food yet ;)

| Andrew Brooks's First Thanksgiving |
We ate the traditional Grandma Rosie dinner: Turkey, Ham, Potatoes & Gravy, Cornbread Stuffing, Cranberry Relish, Green Bean Casserole, Sweet Potatoes, Rolls, Pumpkin Pie, and Chocolate Lush. We were eating leftovers for days :) I tried out a few Thanksgiving leftover recipes, Gluten free Turkey Pot Pie and Potato Pancakes.

While I cooked, my two little Turkey's did a craft with Grammie.
Thanksgiving is the time of year where I feel closest to Grandma Rosie, especially when reading through her hurried-cursive handwriting on her recipes. I can almost hear her voice of encouragement while I would whisk the gravy and carve the turkey! I miss her so much, but smile and even giggle remembering some of the sweetest moments spent under her supervision in the kitchen. She would have loved meeting Andy, and would have gotten a kick out of him. Oh, what a joyful reunion we'll have someday in heaven ;) Happy 1st Thanksgiving Buddy, can't wait until next year when you can dig in with us!
