It was Hunter's birthday the other day, so Eleanor and I made him his traditional pumpkin pie. Every year I make him a pumpkin pie from scratch (including the crust!) and every year he eats the entire thing because I don't like it. I just have to take his word for it that it's good. Who knows, maybe next year Hunter will get a little help from Eleanor. She blew spit bubbles while I worked on the pie. That's her latest talent!
I had to include a close up of her little Halloween outfit. I haven't had to buy her any clothes since she got so many as gifts, but I couldn't resist!
Eleanor and Penny matched! They both weigh about the same amount now. This is the most Penny has ever really tolerated Eleanor's presence.
For Hunter's actual birthday, we went to Epcot for the day since Disney is letting everyone go to the parks for free on their birthday in 2009. It was quite chilly with temperatures in the 50's! We bundled Eleanor up to keep her warm.
We enjoyed the International Food & Wine festival and tried lots of great food from all over the world. The mushroom soup from Vienna - which sounds kind of lame when it comes to international cuisine - was delicious and I was surprised that it ended up being my favorite thing. I really want to find the recipe. Anyway, Eleanor did a great job and we stayed until around 5:30. That's when she let us know - loudly - that she had had enough and was done for the day! We were pretty tired too and I think we were both relieved to not stay for the fireworks.

Yummy, pumpkin pie :) My favorite part of Thanksgiving!
It's great to reflect on all of your blessings but can you pass me the pumpkin pie?
I could eat pumpkin pie every day for the rest of my life if I let myself! Good choice on hubby's part! :)
And my goodness Beth, what in God's name are you feeding that cat?! LOL!!!
