Thanksgiving back at Jersey was amazing. It was so great to see all you kids, i love you all so much. Can't wait for christmas break!

picture time!


the bros playing video games while the women cook, sigh.


domesticated girls =)


i lived with this cutie's family last summer in NYC and i was so happy to find that he still remembered who i was. we have a lot of fun together. last summer, all he knew to say to me was "SHERA!!!!!" and "blocks". you should hear the words coming out of his mouth now.. sigh.


mama talking and talking and talking like always =)


christine was getting a workout from mashin' the tators. they were MIGHTY good.


our turkey was freakin amazing....


jenny and her baby ella.


samantha mashin' away.


my babies


ella was very complacent on my lap, playing with her fingers for a really long time. i wish i could be complacent with life like that.


i had the awesome idea of putting ella on the turkey dish. glad her mom didn't get pissed... ella, on the other hand, got pretty angry with us.


the girls =) so happy jamie came to spend thanksgiving with me.


nathaniel, what a goofball.


shawn john.


nancy is an amazing cook. thanks for all the food!


christine carefully carving the turkey.
