Thanksgiving part two

Tonight Mommy made a wonderful dinner. Along with a delicious turkey, she made her legendary sweet potato casserole and green bean casserole. There was even a buttermilk apple pie for dessert but Mommy and Daddy were too stuffed to even think about taking one bite. We sure hope there will be dessert tomorrow.  We finished off the night by watching the National Dog Championship.  It sure was fun seeing so many furry friends.

Week sixteen in the garden

Sixteen long weeks and we've only harvested a small basket of cherry tomatoes!What is going on around here? We've got basil on the way.Let's get with it Daddy. Mommy needs to make some marinara sauce already. Since we were still packing for our big move when we should of been sowing seeds, our garden is a little behind schedule. The San Marzano plants keep growing and growing but have yet to bear any fruit.
On the other hand, it's starting to look a lot like Thanksgiving around here. We have ripening sugar pumpkins and mini stalks of corn growing oh so well.
Speaking of things growing well, look at our romaine.It is really doing better than we ever expected. Daddy has finally redeemed himself in the lettuce growing department. It only took him a few seasons to get it right but you know what they say...better late than never.
I love how fast zucchini grows. I bet if I just stared at it all day long I would totally see it get bigger.
On the other hand, it doesn't look like the cucumbers have grown a bit since last week so we will have to wait and see how long they take to grow. Hopefully it's not too long.

Here are some...

...pictures from Thanksgiving. I took shelter in Mommy's arms while everyone was singing karaoke. I stayed there for a while...until it got too hot.

Sierra fell asleep in Daddy's lap and stayed there for a long time.

Today was...

...a great day to catch up on rest after all the festivities yesterday. We napped a lot. Daddy and Grandpa played golf. Mommy had lunch with a friend who was in town from L.A. I think one of the best things about Thanksgiving is that there are so many leftovers. Here we are waiting for Mommy to give us some turkey. How did you spend the day today?

Thankful Thursday

Gobble Gobble... Happy Thanksgiving. Mommy has been busy cooking for two days straight. Today we went Uncle Bey Bey's house to hang out with our family and eat lots of good food. Uncle Bey Bey had to go outside to check things out. There was an amazing aroma coming from the grille.

Grandpa was grilling Korean BBQ. Daddy calls this my birthday meat because every time Grandpa gave it to me he said it was my birthday.

Here is Mommy making the gravy and putting the finishing touches on her green beans.

Look at all that scrumptious food. We didn't get our own plates this year but we got plenty of turkey, Korean BBQ, and chicken.

Everyone had fun singing karaoke. Daddy was singing the Elvis song, "Teddy Bear" but all I could think about was Grandpa eating the shortbread made by Mommy.

My patience paid off and Grandpa finally let me have some.

Sierra even got to do a little karaoke.

We hope you all have a fun and blessed day. We loved being with our family during this special time of year.

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!! I hope everyone had a fun day filled with family, food, and fun. Daddy deep fried a turkey this year. Everyone said it was amazingly delicious. Sierra and I got our own plates. Turkey, Korean bbq, mashed potatoes, and sweet potatoes from our veggie garden. As soon as Daddy set down our plates, Sierra was business as usual. Breaking world records. I hadn't even taken a bite before she was done with her bbq beef. I hope she doesn't have too much gas later from scarfing down all that food.
