Thanksgiving Day with Family

We started our feast with Marilyn's mushroom appetizer and then Allen made a lovely spread with brussel sprouts and pork.

Delicious and nice to be in our home for our first Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Festivities

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving season, staying in California this year for the first time. Gigi had a celebration at school and a "feast" to kick off the fun.

We took a walk along Venice Beach and Jordan decided to "steal" this airplane ("I-Plane")

On Thanksgiving morning, we went for hike in Temescal Canyon. Gigi kept us going for two hours, past the waterfall.

November 2011 - Thanksgiving and Bonfires

One of my homework assignments was to trace all family members' feet and decorate. I had a lot of fun tracing, cutting, glitter gluing and this is my final product.

A few weeks before Thanksgiving, Nature Child had a bonfire in Manhattan Beach. We went, but Jordan and I were asleep in the car when we arrived at around 4:30. We slept until 6....well, I would have continued sleeping if I wasn't encouraged to wake up. Jordan had some fun, hanging with my favorite teacher. I just couldn't get in the groove....even when Jeremiah was played by the guitar player. It was a very fun time (so says Mama). The good news is they are going to do it again after the holidays.

We had a fantastic time in Orlando for Thanksgiving. We laid low and mostly went swimming for the week. No theme parks for us. We did take a trip to a Harvest Festival which was so much fun. Just a nice time relaxing with family.

Jordan really wanted to try these goggles on....until they were on!

Jordan was not trying to escape from the stroller, but taking a nap like this!

An evening out at Cafe Tu Tu Tengo.

The day after Thanksgiving, we went to the park before going home. We took these family pictures. No picture on Thanksgiving as Gigi was sick on the couch!
