Isn't this picture hilarious? Johanna is NOT enjoying this balloon.
This is a picture of Johanna in her quiet staring mode...she will just look around at everything and not say a peep. She must be soaking in a lot of information, which is why I have to constantly remind her Dad to watch his language!
Here she is all dressed up for turkey day.
Jeff got a smoker last week and was very excited to try out smoking our first bird. Last week we had smoked pork chops, chicken breast and steak and they had all turned out very well. For the turkey we used apple and mesquite flavored wood chips. It smelled delicious while it was smoking!
Fiona would circle around the smoker trying to figure out where she could steal a bite.
Jeff was pretty proud of his bird. It took 8 hours to finish smoking and it tasted fantastic. When I saw the giant turkey leg, the first thing I thought of were the giant turkey legs at the Renaissance festival.
Right before we ate, our friends the Palladino's surprised us with a visit. Joe got to hold Johanna for the first time, he seemed like a natural!
Ann (Joe's Mom) had flown in to town from New York as a surprise. When Brian said Ann was coming to the door we all thought he had to be joking! It was so nice to see her and Lisa!
Johanna wanted to help out in the kitchen...
turkey/milk coma...(and also touchdown baby)
We had an awesome Thanksgiving with so much tasty food. Lori did a great job and kept off her feet for the most part. Did I mention how awesome she did the day before- talk about a rockstar! Even though there were only 6 of us this year, and only 5 eating we still ended up with all the Thanksgiving must haves... which for our family it's a lot! Now we've got left overs for the next week, and I'm not complaining :) Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
