Giving Thanks 2009

Preparations...

Turkey making magic

What will it be Isla? Will you be a veggie lover like your mom??

Or... a bit more of a meat lover like your Dad??

Food time!

Isla's first Thanksgiving!!

Ahh, the effort was worth it. Without a doubt.

We had SO much to give thanks for this Thanksgiving, she's in size 3 of diapers, likes to pretend cough to get your attention, and talks to herself in a sweetly soft voice as she is about to fall asleep. It was so, so nice to have all the Dansby Brothers reunited and for Isla to have two of her uncles right here to hang out with. We had other visitors as well, Alexis came up from NC and Carl, Paul and Ben came up from NYC. Everyone had their moments helping with Isla while we cooked and prepared. Uncle Wade entertained Isla with song, and Uncle Will held her close. The food was amazing, and there were many hours of lovely relaxation, conversation and laughter. Isla was a holiday hit. The days were lazy, aside from some serious cooking and eating. Mornings were slow with lots of coffee. The french press(es) had their work cut out for them. It was filled with lots of lovely moments and we are thankful for the memories that will last forever. I am already nostalgic.
