Max wants to help all the time in the kitchen these days so I said he could help cutting the bread for the Thanksgiving stuffing. Yes, he has gotten quite good at saying cheese!
He was pretty excited about helping and very focused on cutting.
Then he realized the bread was pretty tasty....
And none of the pieces that got cut made it into the bowl:-)

Because I have the biggest table of my downtown friends I decided Max and I should host Thanksgiving. Unfortunately having a large table does not mean you have a large kitchen or oven for that matter, so my friend LaVonna (standing at far end of table) offered to make a turkey, which was delicious.
LaVonna's daughter Athena thinks about what she is Thankful for;-)
Mallory reads stories to Abby's kids.
Max, Athena, and Carson watch "Little Einsteins" and wander around.

A few more pictures from Lee and Barry's visit. This is inside Teatro Olimpico just down the street from our house. It is an amazing old theater built by Andre Palladio. This is a picture of the set on stage.
Jay and Max race in the Piazza.
Max decided Lee's gelato was better and did not want to give it back;-)
On the way to Verona.

Saturday we thought we would go on a little outing to a lesser tourist destination: Bassano del Grappa. It is at the foot of the Dolomite mountain range and is famous for, what else, its grappa.
This is the Ponte del Alpini, which was designed by Palladio and rebuilt several times over the centuries, most recently after Italian Alpine soldiers blew it up in World War II, hence the name. A somewhat macabre fact about Bassano del Grappa is the Nazis strung up 31 local partisans from the city's trees when they left in 1944. Terrorism isn't new, you know. But the grappa is delicious!

Since moving to Italy Max has become quite the gourmet eater. Here he is dipping his bread in olive oil that he requested.
His table manners are not quite following in suit with his tastes.....He also now asks for bubbly water, green olives and Parmesan cheese, mostly using a combination of baby signs and a hissing sound for his l'aqua frizzante;-)
