Turkeypalooza

Each year about two weeks before Thanksgiving we invite some old friends over to the house for a big thanksgiving feast. We do the birds (24 lbs. this year) and everyone brings side dishes and wine. It was Ella's first - she goblled up turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, corns, and anything else that was put in front of her. Grandpa and Grandma sent up Mommy's peter rabbit dish and Ella was able to use that too. She asked for seconds when she wanted them and used her sippy like a pro. Our favorite part though was her dinner conversation. At the end of the meal she let everyone know what she thought of the food and the company. There were nothing but smiles all the way around the table. It was a lot of fun! (and a first of many!)
