Thanksgiving was such a nice and relaxing reprieve from the holiday madness that has started at work! We had a very low-key and casual day- we got up and had a pancake breakfast, watched the Thanksgiving Day parade and started cooking. Jason was in charge of frying the turkey (which was the best one he's made so far!) and I always make a sweet potato souffle and pecan pie bites- yum! Alina and Tony came over early and Ava loved getting a chance to hang out with her aunt and uncle. Gigi and Grandma came over and we all sat down for dinner. Ava said the blessing all by herself for the first time- we were impressed she got all the words in- it's so cute! I'll have to catch it on video and post it soon.
This year, we have so much to be thankful for- our beautiful daughter, our loving family and friends, and each other! We are incredibly blessed and fortunate to live in this country and I hope that we never take any of these things in our life for granted.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Alina showed Ava some pictures on the computer- Ava loves 'playing' with the laptop

Tony the Turkey kept Ava laughing all day long
