So, I didn’t suffer a fatal
attack of indigestion after thanksgiving, which, incidentally, we celebrated on
Sunday here because it’s not a
holiday weekend in Italy. I know, why?
Anyway, just wanted to let
y’all know that I’m on hiatus this week. I’m tired and have no writing in me.
So, instead of putting out half-assed crap for you to read I’m turning in early
and catching up on my shows, hopefully this will get the creative juices
flowing (and, more importantly, unclog my tivo). Or something.
But I’m not leaving you
high and dry… I have pictures for you. Thanksgiving pictures. Because now that
you’ve finally finished off the turkey leftovers and are starting to forget the
family drama you absolutely need me to bring it all back to the top of your
minds. You’re welcome.
Thanksgiving 2011
Despite being in Italy, away from home for most of us, there was food:
 |
| the spread |
 |
| yeah, baby! |
 |
| dessert.... (the healthy fruit salad? just for show!) |
And festive mise en place:
The womenfolk in the kitchen:
 |
| All the men cleared out when we mentioned carving the turkey... wimps! |
Friends relaxing together:
 |
| The little kids. The big kids weren't all that keen to be photographed. |
Love:
and lollipops:
And outdoor fun
Mischief:
 |
| I'm not sure what she was getting into, but her who me face says it all! |
And dishes done:
 |
| me, in the kitchen |
And lots and lots of this:
See you next week!
Feel free to send me some of that leftover stuffing. It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week off. I'll miss you, but you deserve it!
That looks delicious! Next year I'm taking the drive down to Italy for Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYou've really captured the joy and the purpose of my favourite holiday in these pictures. Happy Thanksgiving - so much to be thankful for when you're a mama, eh :)
ReplyDeleteUm, loved your holiday. Love the archways! I know, this lack of a real Thursday off is kind of sad, isn't it. x
