thanksgiving.

grandma was in town to celebrate thanksgiving with us this year.

our gluten-free turkey was exactly my size - 10kg (22lbs).

grandma made traditional oyster stuffing, steamed veggies and a salad.

stuffed mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and cornbread by mommy,

plus my favorite mac & cheese by aunt dacia.

we also requested grandma's signature paella to complete our meal.

oh, and pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream.

families + friends + smiles + laughter = good times.

from grandma's cafe.

basque cakes made with fresh farm eggs, flour, butter, and sugar.

perfect for tea time.

winter.

a new season, new wardrobe.

gemma.

mommy's treasure is her antique mocha cups;

a royal copenhagen gemma series handed down from grandma O.

winter's around the corner and it's time for hot cocoa...

adventures.

Sota moved into a new home.

a new home meant new adventures.

so we headed towards the river...

discovering the biggest riverbed!

but still, after all our adventures mommy is best.

size.

sometimes i forget how big the world can be.

special delivery.

grandma sent over the latest lunch special from her cafe for us to taste.

chicken with mushroom cream sauce,

buttered rice, and gratin dauphinois.

i couldn't stop devouring the creamy chicken.
