First Thanksgiving For The Boy!!!

This year's Thanksgiving was great! The boy enjoyed eating all sorts of new things (On his own) like greens, smoked turkey, and mac&cheese (See Gobble Gobble Baby entry) He is really an amazing kid in that he is so advanced. At just a few days into his tenth month, he is dexterous enough to pick up foods like mac&cheese bits with his index finger and thumb and navigate to his mouth with the greatest of ease. Just a few weeks ago, he had trouble keeping the food in the palm of his mitt. He is also able to use his "Hippo Walker", a push/riding toy which helps him balance for walking, and scooting. The boy is growing up fast blog. Don't blink, 'cuz next thing you know, he'll be heading off to college.

PEACE.

Gobble Gobble, Baby.

HEY HEY HEY, blog.
Rather than waste time apologizing for my colossal display of
LAZINESS
I'll just get right down to business.

Today is turkey day, and if you didn't know it, friendly blog, today is my very favorite day of the year.
Well, maybe the third or fourth favorite DAY, but it's my favorite HOLIDAY.
Thanksgiving was particularly exceptional this year.
First and foremost, the wife and I got to spend the sprite's (nickname change) first Thanksgiving at HOME,
(this decision was met with silent, yet palpable opposition from each of our in-laws, but we stood firm)
AND I got to smoke the bird. I also smoked a ham, and some redskin potatoes. I must admit, that I did a pretty tight job considering I've never used a smoker before last week.
The lovely wife made GREENS(!)
(Just wait till I tell my family how GOOD they were {they won't believe it})
I also made the lovely wife's favorite- My famous Macaroni and cheese!!!
I wanted to make a whole Hell of a lot more stuff, but i didn't want to be a COMPLETE glutton. I will be the first to admit that i am certainly not opposed to turkey day engorgement, but we took it easy this year.
All in all, the day was a HUGE success.
Everything tasted excellent, we got to relax, we took a bajillion photo snaps of the boy, and we had two visitors- one brought us a home made apple pie and the other provided some wine.

I am most thankful for this perfect day that I had the privilege to spend with my beautiful wife and beautiful son.

Hope yours was just as right on as mine.

Happy Thanksgiving & PEACE.
