Giving Thanks

Since the days when Orlando worked at 701, it's been a tradition for us to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner there, so that O could join in at least a little of the fun. Now that he no longer works on Thanksgiving, we all get to enjoy the dinner together. Anastasia has really started to enjoy going out to dinner at "fancy restaurants", so we prepped her for the exciting dinner that we were going to have.

Upon arriving, she read "the book" and decided that she wanted fish for dinner. After ordering her Shirley Temple and Candis' coke, we were ready to settle in for a nice long meal.



Not surprisingly, Anastasia wasn't as patient as the adults, so while we were finishing entrees, she was entertaining herself with the iPhone.



Lots of food, a lovely wine, and some yummy desserts later, we decided that we should pay a visit to Uncle Mark, who had to work.



It's been a few weeks since we last saw Mark, so Anastasia was very excited. After a drink, we posed for a few pictures.



Thanks for the rabbit ears, Myney.



When we got home, it was time for Annie to head to bed. She was very, very sad when we told her that it was time for pajamas. So, Mommy and Daddy settled for putting pajama bottoms under her dress. Lots to be thankful for this year.
