A Happy Low Key Thanksgiving

It was a beautiful day partly spent in the park. Tristan learned how to use the digital camera- lots of fingers in many photos.
We had 2 special guests; Uncle Pete and Minnie Mouse shared dinner with us.
Pete had a lesson in mass transit and learned how easy it was to get here by train. Dylan showed him the "light".
Kieran and Dylan made Pumpkin Pie together.
Chef made roasted root vegetables, amazing stuffing or "crouton salad" if your Dylan, mashed potatoes, cranberry and a 15 pound bird all made by Kieran.
I think we overwhelmed Uncle Pete with bloody mary's, beer and wine. Coffee didn't help revivie him but it could have been the turkey leg as big as Tristan.
Dylan quietly retreated back to the kitchen and "stole" some creme puffs in the quiet solitude of the cleaned up kitchen.
Tristan passed out by 8:30 but I think Uncle Pete may have passed out first.

A Day in the Park; Grami Visits and it Never Rained

It never really rained and the storms never came to Queens. Grami drove in to spend the day with this crazy peanut gallery.
We headed to Astoria Park to keep cool.

The Famous Easter Egg Hunt

Even in the barren back yard it was quite the competitive Easter Egg hunt with the addition of Sophie and Pesca.
In the end Dylan was the big winner with 13 eggs as his treasure.

Easter Decorating the Eggs and AM

Next came the Easter Egg decorating. Tristan went out with Dad and Dylana decorated the eggs while it poured and poured and poured.
Nikki, Steven, Sophie and Pesca came over for the big hunt in the backyard for eggs. Brrr. We woke up and it was 37'.
Next Group the Egg hunt. And then Easter breakfast of French Toast Souffle.
Grami came over for Easter.
