Thanksgiving 2018!

It looks like this will be the last Thxgivin' held at my childhood home. Mama Rosie is looking to downsize next year. We all had a fabulous time, even though Dave, Stacey, and Miss Lucy were in the Mid-West, however, they will be here at Christmas, so that's something to be excited about! Here are some random snapshots for no one but me to enjoy.

Roe's Suburban New Jersey Thanksgiving table setting. Middle-class class all day and all night! Who needs crazy long tables, crystal goblets, candelabras, and all that richy-rich stuff? We keep it real.

Jackson was ecstatic to learn how to use a snifter for his sparkling cider. All night he kept asking for "more wine" and announced he wasn't going to have too much more because "I don't wanna get drunk." This kid...

Mr. R., Jax, Xavier, and Wayne in the kitch.

My favourite six year old boy.

Sister-in-law Mary got in on the selfie action!

Syd and Zach chillaxed in the living room watching the game then Planes, Trains, and Automobiles in between texting and Snap-chatting friends. Oh, and Jax is playing with Lincoln Logs - a favourite toy of mine (and my brothers) growing up.

Wayne home from the seminary!

In between carvings (gross) Xavier stopped for some shenanigans with Wayne oblivious to our nonsense.

This gal is home from college and luckily in December we get her for almost a whole month!

It's Mum! This lady knows how to put a shin-dig together.

Hard to believe this handsome fella is in high school...wasn't he just six years old the other day?

My vegan dinner was catered by Whole Foods and was dee-lish! Clockwise:, cran-sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes with garlic and parsley, Chef Jeremy Fox's cremini mushroom stuffing with kimchi which was out of this freakin' world, and mashed taters made with coconut milk and my fave butter - Miyoko's!

And the yummiest dessert I've had in ages: Chef Jeremy Fox's Frosted Sweet Potato Blondie with Spiced Cashews. So good I ate pretty much all of it in 24 hours. (it's bigger than it looks!)
