Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

One of the things that's been a little hard for Jonathan us to learn is that the reality of special holidays with small children doesn't always match up to the dream we have in our heads. Like, for example, when I asked Cordelia to taste my special, amazing mashed potatoes (what kid doesn't like mashed potatoes?!) at the end of her meal. She resisted, I insisted she take just a bite to try them (when will I learn?), she then spitefully made herself gag and promptly threw up the rest of her Thanksgiving meal onto her tray. It was one of those less magical moments. But this was one of them, from just after Mass yesterday.

Here are a few pics from the past several weeks -- new hats, holiday baking, and mommy's triumph over a craft!
