*thanksgiving: dos mil doce

We spent Thanksgiving in Tustin this year.  Every year, every holiday, I am so thankful that we enjoy and love each others' families so much.  It is truly a gift.

On the way down... you would think that with six roadtrips over the last couple months, that it would have gotten easier.  On the contrary, it's like the girls are sick of it and have lost all resilience.  This was a sweet little moment where Edie declared she needed to go potty and we promptly pulled over along the 395.  She was so excited to point out "a moon!!!"


Happy to be at Lola and Grandpop's:

with Auntie J and Tula at the park... Edie especially just loves this dog.
 



Jessie made matzoh ball soup one night, the first I'd ever had.  Wow - it was delicious and I am itching to make some myself....


I want to remember this beautiful dessert Jessie [who saw, motivated and planned in the first place] and I made.  Crepes layered with lemon curd whipped cream and then topped with a mascarpone whipped cream.  Um... seriously?? It was so fun to make and so beautiful and delicious!


Granny and family:


It was so cute to see Edie sitting so comfortably and Granny giving her loving little squeezes.


Assessing the Thanksgiving dessert spread:


Rosie makes a beautiful table, always:


Vera and her Pop-pop:


One night the boys went to see the USC/Notre Dame game and so the girls [minus Granny and Eden] went out for a de-licious and fun dinner in LA and then to see Cirque du Soleil (sp) in Hollywood.  Such a fun, memorable night!!

how pretty are these two:

at the Cliff's Edge for dinner:

the morning we left, these girls squeezed in some cookie decorating... just before Vera fell apart at the thought of leaving :(
