My Favorite Family Dinner!




Everyone knows that Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite meal! After a crazy few months, I am so happy to be home for a few days. After preparing and decorating it was time to sit down with the whole family and enjoy some turkey. With an new addition to the family, everyone seemed to have baby fever all night. A baby always makes the holidays more fun and brings some new energy to the group. After lots of prime rib, turkey, stuffing and sweet potatoes it was almost impossible to eat dessert, almost. Im a sucker for pumpkin cheesecake! The best part of the night is when my closest and oldest friends come over for dessert and catch up on three months of stories, along with photos and home movies! Since we were stuffed and had to move around, we decided to attempt the black friday midnight shopping. Just an all around bad idea. After sleeping all friday, I got to visit with friends and enjoy a sunny weekend before I head back to NYC. Saturday night we went out to dinner for my mom's belated birthday at Osteria Mozza, Mario Batali's amazing Italian restaurant. Enjoying fresh made pastas and mozzarella, delicious wine and dessert. A great end to a great long weekend with the family!

I learned what it is to be a tough New Yorker this week, so many incredibly sad images from this whole disaster, but I found this cover to be the most amazing of them all. Just thankful to be safe and warm. Watching and waiting for the city to get back to normal.
