Thanksgiving post

It's been a long time since we've posted anything, so I'll start with Thanksgiving and hopefully get caught up over the next few days.

For Thanksgiving, Adrienne came to visit! We cooked enough food to feed 10 people, but it was just the 4 of us, and Fiona doesn't eat much. We shopped on Wednesday (and finally found a Starbucks to have a gingerbread latte) and then cooked pretty much all day on Thanksgiving day. The prettiest food we made were our peace pies -- each pie had pecan, pumpkin and apple in one third. My personal favorite was the apple-pecan stuffing. Everything was made from scratch, except the obligatory can of cranberry goop.

Later that week when we were all starting to catch Fiona's cold, we went out to Lolita restaurant and my two lovely friends Melissa and Adrienne got to meet. We were brave and ordered the bone marrow appetizer, which was really good!

After all of our eating, we took a hike at a park with Fiona bundled up in a big fluff of winter gear and blankets. Adrienne made winter hats for all of us and inspired me to start knitting again. I'm making a scarf for Fiona that will match the one her Aunt Stephanie has! I have just enough yarn left over for a baby scarf :)
