Thankful

Today started the week of being Thankful! We had a lovely (but too short) late afternoon meal with the families in Phoebe's playgroup. There are six kids in the playgroup: three boys and three girls who are (mostly) accompanied by their moms to playgroup with the exception of one dad. The kids are all about the same age- within a month or two. We get them together once a week for a few hours either at a home or a park. It has been a great community for me because we are all first time parents, all leaving a professional environment to raise our child full time, all living in the city and just trying to figure out how to best nurture our children. I am very thankful for them all.

One of the families invited us all over for a "Family Friendly Thanksgiving Extravaganza". We had to leave before the main meal was served so we could get to church, but I just had a plate of food from our 'take out' bag that was prepared for us before we left and everything was AMAZING! I thought I would post the Vegetarian menu for you all to drool over!
