The Rest of Thanksgiving Weekend

Friday night we went downtown to Media where Santa showed up on a firetruck. I hear this week he's going up and doing the same thing in Trumansburg. He's a busy guy! For Olympia, the firetruck was the main draw. She talks about "Santa Closet" quite a bit, but she isn't totally sure what's in it for her yet.


She has started to climb into Papa's lap and announce that it's "Snuggle Time!" We always obey:


Saturday was Mama's birhday and we had Dutch Babies for breakfast! Oly's a fan.


Then we opened presents and she really enjoyed my loot:


Then we had my favorite recipe, Braised Ox Tails with oranges! It sounds weird, but it's the best.


Super delicious and unhealthy salad:


Roasted carrots (Oly asked me to get the dirt off of them before she would eat them)


And then after having constant birthday cake and thanksgiving pie, we decided to go light and have ice cream sundaes:


Here's the Punkin' Pie video I promised you:


And can anyone guess what Oly means when she yells, "Tai Bown!!!!"? Two points for the winner.

And the points go unclaimed!

She's telling us that she wants to watch CHARLIE BROWN! We saw the Thanksgiving special on TV and now every time we watch football she has to talk about how worried she is that Charlie's going to fall down again when he kicks the ball.

The video is so cute. I just love watching little kids eat!
MP3 loved the video. In pure MP3 fashion he gave the play by play.... "That's O-E! She's eating dinna. O-E holding a foke. She's eating crust. Put O-E back on!" It's also funny what they think is ice cream. Although the whipped cream is a lot closer than the deviled egg filling that MP3 called ice cream. Funny kids!!!

Nancy, the obsessed are often irrational. Oly saw a paper towel wadded up on a plate yesterday and thought it was ice cream.
