We had my parents over for Thanksgiving yesterday. We don’t really do a whole big deal but I wanted turkey so we ordered it from our favorite deli. They sell individual dinners with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, mashed turnips, mixed vegetables and cranberry sauce. It was all very good although I wouldn’t have minded more turkey and less of the mashed stuff. I did like the turnips and was pleasantly surprised with the vegetables. I was afraid it was going to be peas and carrots.

(there was more turkey in here but it was already eaten!)

In the making

YUM!

I made pumpkin pie for the first time and it was so easy and delicious! I also made whip cream and that was also so easy and delicious! No reason to ever buy cool whip or readi-whip again!

For some reason, Sienna is fascinated by the stereo/dvd player/Tivo and is always going over there. I cleaned off the dust and pushed back the playstation games so we have no worries when she heads over that way. The units are covered with the glass door. Grandma M bought this pretty dress for Sienna.

I crocheted a pair of leg warmers for Sienna last week. Since I haven’t crochet in awhile, I kept it real simple. Just a grey pair, single crochet. I tried to make a cuff in the first few rows by using a small hook and then switching to a bigger hook but I don’t think that made much difference. Here’s a video of her demonstrating them for us (try to ignore her parent’s goofy singing but I know you’re not going to).

Then we went for a walk over the weekend and put them to the real test. It was meant to go over her pants but because this particular outfit had a wider leg, I put it straight onto her leg. They were a tad too big as they kept falling off but am confident they would stay on over pants.

The gloves go with the hat she’s wearing in the below picture but they are too big for her hands. The hat is a little big too but it’s better than the gloves. And they can’t fall off and get lost.

I made some butternut squash for Sienna last week after Liz and Mummy told me it’s pretty popular among babies. I found half a squash already peeled and seeded at Stop and Shop. I filled up more than 6 containers and 3 glass containers and I think the squash was less than $2! I also pureed some bananas for her too. She loves them both!

Grandpa feeding her squash on Saturday! And here’s the video!
