We were so happy to have my mom (here unto referred to as "Nanny") here for Thanksgiving. She was kind enough to leave the warmth and sunshine of November in Arizona for the cold and gray that is November in Portland. I guess "tis the season" right?? Nanny flew in on Thanksgiving morning and stayed until Sunday morning. Luckily the travel itself was fairly uneventful - a holiday miracle in and of itself - so we were able to enjoy a wonderful long weekend and Reese was able to spend lots of quality time with Nanny.
Todd prepared about 95% of the feast (pretty much everything except the mashed potatoes which are my specialty - and slicing the cranberry sauce, my other specialty). We had wonderful smoked turkey and all the fixings!! Good stuff!! While Reese was not yet able to partake in the feast, she did get to try a new food that day in honor of the holiday....bananas!!! And boy does she love her some bananas. Todd and I have each almost lost a finger or two trying to feed them to her....she turns into a snapping turtle....but I digress....
We were also able to squeeze in a trip to the Rogue Brewery in downtown Portland....
At any rate, we had a wonderful holiday and it was nice to have Nanny and Reese around the table with us. Oh, and the dogs under the table as well! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday as well! It looks like Todd and Reese certainly did...
