thanksgiving extravaganza!






we had quite the thanksgiving weekend. we had family in from indy, brooklyn. providence, and philly. due to the kid sitch, we decided it would be the easiest to host at our house. i had fun decorating ( with some help from just about everybody) and everyone else brought the food ( i did make a turkey, 3lbs of cranberries and mashed potatos tho). worked great for me! we had a delicious meal and i am so thankful for all the food and good times. our guests from NY thought that Az reminded them a little bit of italy. so where better to go to than an olive mill. we sat outside and had a lovely lunch under the queen creek sun sampling wine, olives and pb&j for the kids. the kids had a magical time running wild for several hours. we played lots of games and learned our new favorite game... celebrity. P and I are still the undefeated champions of pictionary. challenge anyone?????? you will lose. we also enjoyed a quick trip to sedona, hikes and a kid free dinner @ el zocallo in dt chandler. yummo. i really didn't want the weekend to end. now i have 2 weeks to shed about 20 lbs of turkey weight before the christmas parties start!






did i mention we even did our own very accurate reenactment of the first thanksgiving?
