in all things give thanks

soooo much to be thankful for this year! 2012: for me, as you all know, the year of the baby!!!

that made thanksgiving extra extra sweet.

here is lucy meeting great grandma georgie who is 100 years old...soon to be 101. she loved her, must've been all those cool wrinkles ;)

nana came over to spend thanksgiving morning with us.

addie, 34 weeks pregnant, was super thankful for monkey bread this year. she'd been looking forward to it for weeks, calling me up repeatedly to make sure we had enough ingredients for two or three, hell, four pans of it! do you guys make monkey bread? it's our t-giving morning tradition. stupid good.

pops enjoying some gooey goodness. we may have a vegetarian thanksgiving but i won't claim it's "healthy."

these boys did most of the cooking, artie's specialty is veggies of all sorts and joey's specialty is breads.

see what i mean?! 34 weeks and looking GOOD.

thankful for bounty, life, green things growing, tofurkey :)

family and friends, near and far...

happiness, love and each other!

this little tot sat right on mama's lap to be up close and personal with all the goodness. she loves to watch people eat, so much it makes everyone feel guilty for eating in front of her. don't worry, she's well fed too!

what a day! lucy even had her first sip from a cup, after watching desperately as everyone drank beer and wine and coffee and water and soda all day, she just had to try it too. she had some breast milk in her cup and boy was that fun for her!

sorry this is such a quickie, but i wanted to finally share a glimpse of our thanksgiving feast which seems so long ago already as the holidays are thick upon us. now i've got a snuggly babe waiting for me to jump in bed and cuddle her so i must run. wishing you all the sweetest joys in the world.
