We are happy to host thanksgiving dinner for both of our parents this year.

It is a family affair, we all cook together for the thanksgiving dinner. This has become our family tradition. 🙂

Shane makes mashed potatoes,

Chloe and Andrew make an apple pie,

And I make everything else.

Roasted butternut squash, caramelized fig and feta salad

Flatbread with goat cheese, arugula and roasted garlic jam

Cranberry sauce with walnut

Sage buttered mashed potatoes

Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts

and 15 lbs herb roasted turkey

Started snowing little bit when school got out, but then it turned into real heavy snow real fast making our commute home from kids activities which normally takes about 20 minutes into 2 hour ride home. Crazy! So many cars were stuck on the roads and we saw many accidents. 

I’m thankful we made it home safe.

After dinner we came to experience a breathtaking display of more than 7,000 illuminated jack o’ lanterns—all designed and hand-carved on site by the team of artisans. Amazing!

We are out with our friends tonight in upstate NY for a fun event.

We had some friends over so I prepared treats for them before heading down the street to trick or treat.

Shane’s a bush and Chloe’s a sports fan! I made Shane’s bush “outfit” with chicken wire and leaves and it came out pretty well. 🙂

This is my favorite! Lol!

Another meet this afternoon. Chloe has been running about 2 miles Tues-Friday for 5 weeks now. I’m so proud of her for wanting to do this and keep challenging and pushing herself every time.

She broke her last record by 1.20 min! Came in @ 14.30min/1.8 miles.

Chloe’s volunteering at our town’s Harvest Festival this afternoon. 
She was in charge of game station for little kids.

Chloe had her Girls Scout cooking class event at Sur La Table tonight. The girls made chopped salad with creamy parmesan dressing, Spaghetti and mini-meatballs in tomato sauce from scratch and chocolate gelato.
