After Thanksgiving traditions
Close-up of the dishes Jen got us, minus a lapis salad plate. Gg wanted to put his bowl of pears from Mimi's house in the picture, too. Thanks again for the early Christmas gift, Jen! We love them!!
We had a white Thanksgiving. I don't think we are going to see the grass until April...
The day after Thanksgiving, Alpena had a lighted parade. Grey LOVED it! Especially since he got candy and hot chocolate :)
They had the coolest floats.
There were three different fire trucks in the parade. Grey was in heaven. We had to read our firetruck book when we got home.
We went to get our Christmas tree today!
The tree worker guy made the mistake of telling Grey that he could have a candy cane. It took him at least three minutes to pick out which one.
Our tree is up! We will decorate it tonight.
Buddy the Elf is back! It's his first time in our new house, and he seems excited about it. Grey read Buddy's story while going down for his nap, and he said, "GG good boy for elf." I'm excited for this Christmas because Grey is going to understand more about all of the traditions that happen at Christmas.

Thanksgiving 2013
We were so happy to host Thanksgiving for our very first time! We would normally be preparing pies and heading to Conifer to have Thanksgiving with Jeje and George, Jenny's aunt and uncle. We missed them, and all our CO family, this Thanksgiving, but we carried on their traditions while making some of our own. Can't wait to hear about all of your Thanksgivings this year!
I only made two pies this year instead of my usual four: pecan with cream cheese crust and homemade chocolate pudding. We split up who was making what so that it would be easier. Here's my pie-making station, complete with pie tool from Grandma Hubicz (lower left of mat).
Sophie was sleeping on the hard floor while I made pies, so I got her a pillow.
Finished!
Grey helping me in the morning
Grey getting in the Thanksgiving spirit
Apps all done, waiting for people to get here.
Apps we made: crudités with homemade hummus, fruit turkey for Grey and Makenna, baked Brie en crute with apple compote, and goat cheese torte with pesto, pine nuts, and sun dried tomatoes.
Close-up of the torte. Thanks Auntie Jen for the Fiesta dishes and serving ware!!!! We love them!!!
Grey was scared to eat the turkey. He kept saying, "too pretty."
Our drink station. We had two signature drinks- mine was sparkling apple and pumpkin beer tail and Justin's was Moscow mules. I think everyone liked my drink more!
My drink
Justin's drink
Kiddie cocktail: cherry pomegranate sprite, just like at Jeje and George's!
Kiddie table, compete with turkey color-by-number sheets and Thanksgiving bingo.
The dogs found a friend.
Eating apps. So much space to entertain our 12 guests! Very comfortable.
The table. I love how the Fiestaware looks on our new dark table!
Just sitting down to eat dinner.
Cleaning up the dead animal carcass. The dogs are helping.
Pictionary after dinner. Gg drew his first person! So cute.
He drew mama, papa, gg, and Mimi (Denise is Grammy aka Mimi)

Monkey
I went to put Grey down for his nap and I found this scene downstairs. The monkey is one of Grey's stuffed animals.
