Thanksgiving Day

We continued our at home Thanksgiving tradition this year. It was just the two of us plus Luca. It was a nice, relaxing, and quiet day. We love being with our family, but sometimes it is just nice to stay in your P.J.'s and do whatever you want.

We enjoyed our traditional Thanksgiving feast: Chicken w/ stuffing, canned shaped cranberry sauce (Rich says it has to be shaped like the can), mashed potatoes, peas, bread, and homemade spaghetti with meatballs. For dessert Rich made a chocolate cheesecake pie. Since it was just the 2 of us I plan on making an apricot tart a little later, so we can spread out the sweets.

The activities of the day were watching videos and playing video games (mostly guitar hero world tour). We also enjoyed sleeping in and playing with Luca.

For fun and entertainment we gave Luca a stuffed turkey on a rope fork. He loves to chew and destroy sqeaky toys and it is always fun to watch. As soon as Rich made the turkey squeak Luca went crazy. The picture below is the crazed look Luca had in his eye as he jumped up to get the toy...He is so funny!
