Gobble Gobble



Once again the Eichlers made it out to San Francisco to celebrate Thanksgiving with us.  Marilyn and I cooked up a storm and made WAY TOO MUCH food. 
This was the menu for Miss Megan.
Megan's first green beans.
Here was the menu that Marilyn and I created for the adults (this is for you Lindsay):

First Course:
Fig and prosciutto bites with goat cheese
Cauliflower soup with bacon
Papapietro Perry Pinot Noir (my fav)
The first course was a little bigger than we expected (I have enough soup to last for months) so we took a break for a few card games of 500 and to play with the baby.

Second Course:
"Rub all over your body" stuffing - found this recipe in a magazine.  I'm afraid that it didn't quite live up to it's name, but it was still pretty good.
Turkey breast roasted with potatoes, leeks, carrots, and green beans
 Turkey Day was more or less a success!  Thanks to the Eichlers for making the trek over to celebrate with us!

First Tooth

Aaron discovered yesterday that Megan's first tooth has emerged.  It's hard to spot since she spends most of the day with her tongue out.  Her new bottom tooth makes a a cameo in the video below (barely).

Boo at the Zoo

Halloween!
Megan came to school on Friday.  The math department dressed up as PI-rates and Megan was a flower.

Elisabeth and I took the kids to the zoo on Halloween.  Though the pictures were fun to take, we  agreed that we might save our next trip for when they are a bit older :)
