thanksgiving weekend

whew!  we made it.  not only to thanksgiving but through jason working weekends since september!  we are so glad to have daddy/husband back at home on the weekends.  it feels more normal.  thanksgiving this year was much different from last year.  last year we didn't have family over...didn't have family to visit.  cashel was sick...again. it was warm.  it was just weird.  this year we hosted our first thanksgiving!  we had a modest crowd of us, nana, uncle brian, and our friends nick, danielle and bill.
 
here is my first turkey!  it's brined and was delicious!

i put cashel to bed around 9 pm and fell asleep with him.  jason comes in around 9:45 to wake me and get my help with the kitchen.  it looked like an explosion had occurred after we had cooked.

santa barbara zoo

the next day we took a day trip to santa barbara.  we ate lunch at an italian restaurant that was awesomely family friendly with unexpectedly huge portions then headed to the santa barbara zoo.  we all had a great time!
do you see that?  where else can you see a giraffe with the ocean in the background?  lucky giraffe.
cutie pie
 after the zoo we headed to the pier before our drive home.
