Thanksgiving...

Our T-Day (which really stands for "Thomas day") was pretty low key. With no family near by and no friends to speak of we were faced with a day of cooking and entertaining ourselves. It started off with fashion show of W's newest threads.

Bulldog hat makes him look tough.

The finished meal (I skipped pix of cooking because it wasn't that exciting).
Pot roasted pork with prunes, cognac and walnuts, braised leeks with coriander and orange vinaigrette and polenta. We had bread pudding with a whisky sauce for desert but I don't have a pic of that. It was all pretty good and unlike last year we only had leftovers for one night, perfect!


Last minute preparations. W was ready to eat.


He also got to sit in his new highchair for the first time. Seemed to like it, for a bit. It got us through dinner but that was all he could take. I think we need a cushion for it, we used dishtowels which can't be that comfy.


All in all a happy and successful Thanksgiving dinner. Next year we should have people over.

W in his office. I'd disturbed his important work.

Halloween!

This is coming a bit late. We didn't do anything special but he looks cute as a pumpkin.

Sinister...

We are special.
