What a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend it has been! We were happy to see Father Drew and Tommy home with the rest of the Royals crew along with special visits from Aunt Mary, cousin Bryan, Caky Corcoran and Dan Vitz.
Mom prepared two pumpkin pies entirely from scratch with Margaret's help. Move over Libby's canned pumpkin pie filling! Mary made an apple pie that is sure to become her staple addition to the table. Elle made a yummy apple spice cake along with a new favorite: Monkey Balls. Caky's artichoke/spinach dip and Pete's red caviar dip dissappeared quickly. The turkey was perfect and carved beautifully by Dad and every one else contributed their huge appetites!
We are just happy to have these opportunities to come together as the whole family! Tommorrow (Sunday) is the Feast of Christ the King! Don't forget to save a piece of pie to celebrate that big feast!

Aren't we so lucky to have Father Andrew and novice Dan Vitz as direct prayer lines to heaven?
Simon is feeling the sleepy effects of turkey!
Thank goodness Tommy and Drew have mastered our espresso machine for the rest of us!
