Thanksgiving with Friends

This weekend, our friends Abby and Nathalie hosted their annual Thanksgiving dinner. Anastasia was super excited for a dinner party at her favorite sitter's house, not least because it meant that she would get to play with Roxy and Boston, their two dogs.



We were the first to arrive, with the creamed spinach Annie helped me make, and Anastasia went straight to work wearing the little dogs out.



Soon, everyone was there, and it was time for Anastasia to find our seats at the table.



Dinner was traditional Thanksgiving fare, with the guests each bringing sides to go along with the turkey deliciously prepared by the hostesses. We started with a spicy pumpkin soup, which Annie loved. Annie also dug the dinner, and she very politely asked to be excused when she'd finished. Her new friend Aaron was happy to join her watching Scooby Doo until the rest of us were ready for dessert.



By the end of the evening, Annie would be calling Aaron her new friend, he even got a hug when we left. When I asked her what her favorite part of the day was, she had two: watching Scooby Doo with Aaron and making Roxy so tired that she fell asleep.
