I am so Thankful for....

My Aunt Debi and her friend Anita.  They arrived in New York on Saturday Nov. 21st...and I greeted them with one of the biggest melt downs of the century.  Mom, Dad and I picked them up from the airport and proceeded to drive out to the house.  En route I broke down.  GET ME OUT OF HERE I started to scream.  Well since no one can understand a darn thing that I can say yet, they translated my shrieks as let's stop at Mc Donalds.  Oy.  So I got fries and some milk out of the deal and we proceeded on our way.  We spent the next few days causing lots of trouble...doing things like...Drinking while under the influence of a naked baby...
Drinking more next to our faux christmas tree (yes, we are Jewish but my mom is obsessed with Christmas)...
 Hanging off the couch while Aunt Debi and Anita babysit me...
Ok now falling off the couch...FYI:  My Aunt Debi has 3 children of her own...supposedly they all fell on their heads while they were my age...luckily they turned out all right.
 Attempting to over flow the tub...and cause a huge flood in the house while no one was looking...
Do an unimaginable amount of shopping at the Tanger outlet mall where my Aunt Debi thought it would be funny to squish her tall body into a miniature Snoopy the dog ride...is this what really goes on when I fall asleep in my stroller?
 Shopping for fresh Brussels sprouts for one of the many fabulous meals we made this week...
 Hoping they are not going to leave me in this pumpkin patch...I'm not cut out to live on a farm...
Gnawing on breadsticks at lunch in Southampton...
Learning how to make apple strudel - instructional video is available if you would like...please speak to my mother for more information.
 Taking a snooze to recharge for the rest of this crazy week....
Taste testing the apple strudel...wow Aunt Debi...it's AMAZING!
 Making chicken soup...sorry folks this one is a secret...no videos available to you at this time...
 Taking a bath and getting a hairstyle similar to Martin Short as Ed Grimley....
 Shopping at Target...for the 50th time this week...
Riding along with Papa's cool shades and an unknown cap...
Helping mom push her cart of crap...
 Watching my mom over taking the guts out of the Turkey for Thanksgiving dinner...
 Wait...are you serving me or the turkey?  I'm nervous...
 Oh thank God...the turkey...good work Mom!
 Wearing a matching Paul Frank to my Dad...how cute are we?
 Zooming along in my automobile...looking for chicks...but finding the house is dry...
 Snuggling with Granny and Poppi before dinner...
Full on Turkey, stuffing, potato gratin, cranberry sauce, green beans and corn pudding...so it's off to bed.
A big huge thanks to my mom, dad, Aunt Debi, Anita, Granny and Poppi for making this Thanksgiving week fun, incredibly tasty and truly memorable.  I love you all so much!
