Thanksgiving Weekend

What a weekend!  It really involved all that I am Thankful for: Zoe and Bruno, Our Family, My Friends, My Job, Our Home.

Bruno and I were Thanksgiving rookies, but we succeeded in hosting our Parents and Artie for Dinner.  I meant to take pictures of our table all set, but didn't. Sooo...  its the real reason anyone looks at my blog so here are pics of Zoe!!

 whats up Turkey butt?

Clearly, Sitting at the Big Kids Table was boring for Zoe.  But I am promise at first she thought that she was pretty hot stuff sitting up at the table with everyone.  She was smiling and checking everything out, it was pretty adorable.

Friday, Zoe and I headed up to Ryann's House for another photo shoot.  If you happened upon here yesterday you saw a sneak peek.  But for now we'll wait until Christmas Cards come out.  When we got home, Bruno and I tapped into our inner Griswold and got our Christmas lights up! Again, pictures to follow.  But we were so excited to start decorating the House. Zoe also got to take another ride in her High Chair and get rice cereal for the first time.  The first few bites were met with confusion about why something besides her beloved bottle was being brought to her cute little mouth.  It didn't take long for the spoon to get the same excited greeting the bottle gets.

Saturday, Zoe and I hung out at home all afternoon and had a surprise visit from "Auntie Karissa and Uncle Mike" who came bearing cookies, tournament photos and hugs.  Later, I got out for the night with "Ryann's Mom" KK, Annie, Jenna and Erin, essentially the Executive Board of The Zoe Fan Club.  We had a great dinner full of yummy food and drinks and hilarity.  We may have gone to see Breaking Dawn after or we may have gone to see "some art film".  you decide. And Erin capped off the night by steaming up Jenna's camry.  It was great having a night out with the girls.

Sunday, another big day.  Grandma came over and we decorated the tree.

I talked about the Ornament Tradition in an earlier post.  The Little Lamb is Zoe's first ornament and My first one is hanging right by it.  This is just beyond cool to me.  I love that I still have this and imagine one day Zoe and Gabriella doing the same thing with their kids. and Thennnnn (if you can handle any more excitement?!)  Bruno and I (6+ weeks later) went on our BIG Anniversary date,  Bruno had bought us tickets to Trans Siberian Orchestra, we enjoyed some dinner and the Pats Victory before the show.  Super Night with my husband. :)

Great Weekend (well 5 days really, Thanks to AKKA) with many of my nearest and dearest, all of whom I am quite Thankful for.  Especially Zoe. of course.
