We celebrated a real home Thanksgiving this year with Chris's family. The home cooked food was absolutely delicious. I made the turkey for the first time with a recipe out of my Bon Appetite magazine and it tasted great. It was a Salt Roasted Turkey with Lemon and Oregano. It was a little on the dry side and we will say it is Chris's fault since he didn't take the turkey out of the oven when I told him he should. But he made up for it with a really perfect gravy. We really enjoyed the time with family and of course are most thankful this year for our little Alex.

He is so precious to me. He just started trying to give kisses back. It is mostly slobber, but cute anyway. If you try and give him a kiss, then he opens his mouth...hehe. Just as I was getting the hang of the mom thing and it is getting a lot easier for me, it is now time to go back to work. Hard for me to believe that I will be a working lady again in just 5 days. I didn't think I would be sad, but I am. I feel like I won't see him anymore since I get home from work so late. Alex's first week will be with daddy and I'm excited for Chris to get some of that special time with him because he is only this little for a short time. The rest of the month, Chris's family will be watching Alex and then he will be off to daycare. Boy how time flies.
