It was our first Thanksgiving hosting both indoors and in our new home. Following years of Harvestfests, we’ve claimed this holiday in our family.
The kids helped make place cards, Hadley decorating the backside, Carson carefully spelling out each name:
Both kids helped decorate the table, filling the centerpieces with pine cones, apples, filberts and other fall items:
Jason ran a tight ship, writing out the play-by-play on the blackboard. Which worked out well {as much as everyone gave him grief :}.
Lily and Penny taste testing:
Prepping:
Neighbors stopped by for pre-dinner vino:
Papa reading stories to Kate:
Chin-ups at the park with cousin Calvin {gotta burn off those calories}:
The weekend was extra special with all five cousins together and Julie and Aaron flying up from LA. I didn’t manage to get a group shot of everyone at the table, which I guess was a sign we were too busy enjoying good food and company, lots of laughter and making memories.
Great recap! The book that Grandpa is reading – what book is it? Totally caught my eye.
Looks like it was all successful! You both do such a good job hosting… happy thanksgiving… xoxo
Beautiful…another in a series of Thanksgiving gatherings filled with warm memories, delicious food, great people. It was great to “share” it…thanks.
You guys are the consummate hosts! Fantastic food in a beautiful setting with delightful people — what could be better? Such a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving! What a treat to celebrate with your family. (Poor Toby wants a do-over.)
