thanksgiving, blurrily

blurrily because so much has happened since, and blurrily because the spots from the mud puddle day were still on my lens =p

we got up bright and early (for us) thanksgiving day and drove up to nai-nai and ah-gong's house in new jersey, with my renditions of grandma nicholson's cornbread dressing and apple pie on board. 

first, some time outside.  a yard is a wonderful thing!

can't you tell i just love turkey =p



dinner is served!



i think we had enough ;-)

'daddy, don't eat the WHOLE THING!!'

snuggled into one bed for the first time

friday we went into new york city to see some college friends.  city life is not for me, but it apparently is for several million other people =p

times square, no flash required, ever

 saturday we met up with some high school friends of mine at holmdel park, where i spent a lot of time during cross country seasons.  funny to look at the old place with such different eyes, checking out the coolness of the playgrounds rather than the steepness of the hills ;-)

neither of the girls seems much bothered by heights

 finally, saturday night dinner =  hot pot = yummmmm!

and who could resist a late-night peek?
