First Thanksgiving with Grace







We feasted at Chris and Brian's yesterday. The meal was fabulous thanks to all of the cooks who contributed. Grace was dressed in a matching sweater and dress and had no idea why her house was suddenly the hub of activity.



The reality of having Thanksgiving with a new baby is that one person at the table holds and gives the baby a bottle and eats later.



Christianne planned ahead for a freezer full of bottles which allowed all of us to take turns and and for Chris to enjoy a glass or two of wine...well earned!



Thinking ahead to the next holiday, I did this new portrait of Grace wrapped in a red cape with white fur trim. She's a very good sport about this as long as her mother is nearby to coo at her.



We're thankful for family, friends and the the new baby at the table this year!
