We had a lot of fun with the Tomlinson side of the family this afternoon bonding over turkey, stuffing and side dishes. As I mentioned in a previous post, this Thanksgiving has special meaning as we are able to celebrate Elspeth’s second birthday at the same time. With it being Thanksgiving and all of the family (save me) being big fans of pumpkin pie with whipped cream, Glenn and I decided that instead of cake we would have a birthday pie for Elspeth. She was confused by the whole candle and I ended up blowing them out for her. Then we gave her a piece with some whipped cream. Inspite of her reluctance, we managed to get her to taste a small bite. Her face said it all. Now there are two of us who don’t like pumpkin pie. With it being a birthday celebration, we gave her a bowl of plain ice cream. Hopefully, Monday’s birthday cake will fare better. Enjoy the photos and turkey weekend and I will update you on the fate of the cake.
