Giorno di graziemente!

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was a wonderful time spent with friends, family, and those you love. Here in the mountains we made our own Thanksgiving, and since Paul recently told me "Thanksgiving is where ever the pilgrims land and make nice with the natives" it seemed more than appropriate to have a giant dinner with those who are special to me here. Francesca and I cooked up a storm for the entirety of the day and around 7:30 friends came by for an apartivo, not a normal part of the American Thanksgiving dinner, but I am living in Italy so it seemed to fit the part. We had a great time, eating, chatting, building a giant fire, and making up Thanksgiving day songs since no one could believe that I didn't know any. Here are a few pictures from out dinner:

My prize winning turkey...it was pretty delicious if I do say so myself.
