Last Saturday was also Cristin’s baby shower. It was a well-planned and very lovely, super fun event. I’m so glad I got to share in the festivities and was happy to be a hostess.
I don’t have any good photos (too busy having a good time) but you can read Cristin’s post here and see all her photos here.

Cristin’s Baby Shower
Thanksgiving – Easy Peasy
I knew that Thanksgiving dinner wouldn’t last more than 15-20 minutes, so I was loathe to put hours of work into a lovely gourmet Thanksgiving meal. When Ruth asked if she could fry a turkey for anyone, I jumped at the chance. I’ve always wanted to have a fried turkey but would never take the plunge.
So, Thursday morning we dropped off our turkey and had a nice visit with Ruth, Ruth’s Dad, Scott, Hannah and Ian. Not too long after we got home, we got the call to come pick up Tom Turkey in all his lovely, fried glory.
My mom joined us for an early afternoon dinner and the menu was perfectly simple:
- Fried Turkey
- Bob Evan’s Mashed Potatoes
- Pepperidge Farm Stuffing
- Turkey Gravy
- Sweet Potato and Apple Stuffing
- Bread and butter
- Hungarian Red Wine
Dave made us a banana cream pie for dessert, which was luscious!

Finn’s birthday party
Last Saturday was Finn’s 2nd birthday party. Just like his momma, I can’t believe he’s already 2.
The party was a lot of fun with pizza, cupcakes and a real live fire engine! There were about a dozen kids there and it was nice to catch up with some folks I haven’t seen in a while.
Happy Birthday, Finn!! (Sorry, no good photos of the birthday boy.)

Halloween 2009
It was pretty balmy out but we all had a good time.
And photos from the party at school.
