Baby's first Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving again this year...but this year, the hit of the party was Ella of course. The grandmas did a nice job of sharing Ella holding time and Aunt Laura also got some quality Ella time. Ella debuted two dresses - one from Kate (thank you!) and one from Babcia Beata. A true fashionista already! We had a delicious smoked turkey and too many amazing side dishes to count (including one of my favorites, oyster stuffing courtesy of my dad). We "camped out" on our couch the night before so that Jim could start the smoker at 2:30am. The turkey cooked for 12 hours and was simply awesome.
We also celebrated my brother's birthday a day early since we were all together. Happy 17th Michael!
