Thanksgiving Feast

We went to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving this year. Marina got dressed up for the day and even Julie wore a new dress. We were the first to arrive and Marina soon settled in front of their computer to play games (they have a larger monitor and faster connection!). As more family arrived, Marina was thrilled to see them, especially Uncle Andrew, Uncle Brian and Emily.

At dinner time, she surprised me with her food choices. She wanted the turkey drumstick, but white meat as well. She was also excited about stuffing and mashed potatoes, which she had not eaten much of in previous years. I also convinced her to try the sweet potatoes which she loved! Despite a very full plate, Marina cleared most of it. She even ate the whole drumstick!

We had a little break before the pumpkin pie. Marina ate all that too. Late in the evening when it was time to leave, she didn't want to go. She was having too much fun!
