Turkey Day!


Thanksgiving turned out to be a balmy day, high 50s, low 60s.  Amy, who is Julie's sister, came by with her husband John and daughter Lucia to play with Mari and Austin.  The kids love hanging out together, especially the two girls (as you can see from the photo of them jumping on the bed).  It was so warm out, D and John took the kids to the park, no coats!  
Dinner was at the home of Julie's and Amy's stepsister Catherine Rocchio.  The home was filled with young children.  Dinner was turkey, mashed potatoes (traditional recipe from Julie's maternal grandmother), D's famous brussels sprouts, and roasted sweet potatoes.  Dessert consisted of 5 different pies: chocolate with gingerbread crust, apple, pumpkin, lemon meringue, blueberry.
