Our good friend Ned tickling Morgan.
My masterpieces Dried Cherry/Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Morgan (who wouldn't sit still long enough to get his outfit snapped back together after a diaper change).
This was my first attempt at a fruit pie and a double crust pie. I was pretty happy with both results. The pumpkin pie was all organic...we're so New York chic! Actually it is just the on-line grocery store we order from, Fresh Direct, so we go along with it. Cody likes to mock all the anti-biotic free and free-range craziness. He likes to ponder about the free-range chicken wandering the prairies and of herds of sweet potatoes living wild and free. Oh well, can't hurt anything I guess to live without all the extras.
Morgan did a good job not getting into everything but we had to let him feel apart of the meal. While we ate I fed him Vegetable Turkey Dinner and some Apple Dessert...once again all organic! We're green people!
The lovely Margy who always has a great smile!
Cody, with our friends Dan and Marci. Marci is the Nursery Leader in our ward and as the Assistant Nursery Leader, I am VERY thankful for her this season! She is wonderful with the kids, very creative and likes to keep things clean. All great qualities for dealing with a bunch of little demons...I mean angels!
I caught Oliver and Anna, our hostess for these festivities, a little off guard but Benjamin, Anna's brother, was ready for my photo.
After the party we took a nice long walk back home and before Morgan went to bed snapped some photos of our festive foot attire. My socks actually have some holes in them thanks to my cat Gravy (she still lives in Utah with our dear friends Mesha and Kelley). Morgan's socks said My First Thanksgiving and made me smile. I love having someone to dress up just the way I want him...besides Cody of course!
Morgan and I recovering from all the delicious food and holiday fun. FYI the pack-n-play in the background is where Chase sleeps when he comes over. Morgan is now comfortably in his own room which finally looks like a real nursery.
The rest of our weekend was pretty chill and very cold so we didn't get out all that much. Morgan and I are getting over colds which didn't help our holiday spirits but we managed. We hope everyone travelled in safety and we look forward to reading your posts and hearing about all the fun you had. We are grateful for all of our wonderful friends and family this year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Beth, you look so pretty! Love the Gravy socks...glad to see that you are also getting Morgan into holiday socks! Your pies look yummy! Going green in baby steps is the way to go...
gosh Beth, you look so beautiful in those pictures!! Such a lovely momma!
your pies looked GREAT!! would have liked to of tried that cherry/apple ..or was it cranberry/apple? no matter, it all sounds good!!!
thanks for your lovely comments. the pie was really good, if you want the recipe just click on the pie name link and enjoy. i would put less cherries than it calls for though, i thought there were too many myself but it was tasty and add more butter on top of the filling. also, brush the top crust with butter and sprinkle with sugar to give it a nice look and sweeter taste.
Looks like so much fun. I am seriously impressed on the double crust bit. Dough--I'm afraid of dough.
