Thanksgiving 2012 - Olivia's First!

We remind ourselves everyday how much we, as a family, have to be thankful for. Our health, our gainful employment, our two beautiful daughters, our ever-growing love for each other and our always supportive families!! What a wonderful day it was and thank you to all who helped made it so memorable!

This Thanksgiving was exceptionally special, as it was Olivia's first and she was in holiday heaven! Surrounded by hugs, kisses and endless entertainment from all the kiddos running around, she was never bored. Olivia also had the opportunity (as a 7 month old ... I can't believe it!) to taste her first Thanksgiving dinner and she LOVED IT!!! She had it all... I'm talkin' turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry relish, stuffing, pie, etc. She couldn't get enough of it, and if you paused too long in between bites, she took it upon herself to grab the plate and feed herself! I think she had the perfect introduction to the holiday season... two Thanksgiving meals, tons of family, friends, lots of entertainment and a peaceful night's, turkey induced sleep.

Look how cute we look in our new, matching dresses! Thanks Grandmamma!

Oh Adam... too many tinis already?? This is only round one! 

Cheers turkeys!

What a good-looking bunch!

Open wide for your first taste of holiday heaven on a fork.

Alright, you are taking too long... give me this plate! I think Olivia enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal, don't you?
