First Thanksgiving

This is a big day for our little Blakey, his first Thanksgiving, and his first solid (kind of) very runny rice cereal. I had always thought I would wait until at least 6 mths to give the big guy solids but the poor thing watches us like a hawk when we eat, grabs at our food, and was exhibiting he was ready. We had a great holiday, very relaxing, I did a spatchcocked turkey, a huge cheesecake, and some very pretty place cards (THANKS MARTHA STEWART, all her ideas). We have so much to be thankful for this year, and we try to remember that everyday not just on Thanksgiving.

Spatchcocked turkey prior to cooking, only took 80 mins to cook.This cheesecake felt like it weighed 12 lbs.
