Thanksgiving 2015

We had a truly special Thanksgiving this year. Our dear friends, the Cooper's, came over to join us on the special day. It was just so nice to just enjoy a relaxing day of good food and fun. We had tons of yummy food.

 

We decorated the tables with these, and I highly recommend them. Minimal work, delicious results.  Nutter Butter bites, Hersey kisses, and mini chocolate chips. All stuck together with a little melted chocolate. Yum! The kids put them together while the food was cooking.

 

It snowed and snowed on Thanksgiving. The snow was soo beautiful. It was an unforgettable day. We haven't gotten that much snow in years!

Ellie and her best friend Hannah.

Natalie C. brought stuff so the kids could make owls for decorations. I loved that everyone was different.

They wrote lovely cards about what they were thankful for.

 

The men prepping the potatoes. Lauren sneaking a pre-dinner roll.

Ellie Cooper.  Ellie P. made beautiful name tags for each person. Each was a work of art.

As far as I know, none of this was found in the food. ;)

Kid tables rules!



This picture was actually taken with the blinds closed. The snow was crazy bright. (Barry did my hair, I was rolling out the rolls and it kept getting in my face, so Barry put barrettes in it for me, I never even glanced in the mirror. Ha!)

After dinner, the kids put on all their snow stuff and played outside. The adult played games inside. When the kids got tired we all had pie and ice cream, then pushed back the tables and danced to the fiddle music.

 

It was a memorable day. Definitely one to be thankful for.

 We are so very blessed!
