Thanksgiving 2009!

We had such an awesome Thanksgiving day yesterday! I made pesto mashed potatoes, stuffing with pecans, apples, celery and carrots in it, baked tofu, ginger carrots, pecan roasted broccoli, mandarin orange raspberry cranberry sauce and a pumpkin and a pecan pie. Jai made a Tofurkey and it was sooo good! I have never had one but at Jai's Thanksgivings he usually makes one so he brought one to our Thanksgiving this year and I am glad he did! He also made a vegetarian mushroom gravy and candied yams. Rama and Ky brought calavasitas ( a Mexican creamy corn, squash and zuccini dish) and a fruit salad and Ky made a apple puff pastry pie. Everything was amazing! Luka was such a good boy the entire day, his dad watched him while I cooked which was a treat for Poata because he doesn't get too much one on one time with Luka because he works so much. While we were eating Luka played in his jeep walker and was very content but I felt so bad for him because we were all eating and he was literally drooling over the food, he drools a lot anyways but lately he has been eyeing out our food and grabbing it out of our hands! Even when we are drinking juice or water he grabs the cup and so I will put it up to his lips and he tries to drink it, I don't let him but he seems to know how. He hasn't started to eat any solids yet but I think he might be ready to. He is 4 months now! I can't believe it's been that long, time has really flown by! He has outgrown so many of his clothes and when I take them out of his closet and put them away I can't believe he ever even fit in them! Anyways, Luka is growing up and is becoming such a sweetheart! He cuddles with me at night and is much more easy going in the day then he used to be. He loves shopping with me and playing outside, especially watching the waves at the beach, maybe he'll be a little surfer.
