Thanksgiving!

It was a nice one. The only real snag was that the turkey was done early. Still quite good.


Drink station


Main table



"Kids' table"


Sitting area


Snacks where the buffet ended up


The crowd. My niece Katie and her boyfriend Kiel, my niece Tiffany and her husband Tony and their son Raiden, our friend Claire and her mom Val, and Garrett's parents Bev and Dennis.



Dennis and Bev's 50th anniversary is in a few weeks, so Garrett decided to surprise them by putting their presents out on the drink station. They're blue glass goblets with gold detail for their gold anniversary. They wanted a photo for their Christmas card, and we took a bunch. This was the one Bev hated the least. ;)



The food was excellent and we had a grand time. Glad we claimed Thanksgiving as one of our holidays.

Gorgeous! I love all the photos.

And I don't think I've ever cooked a turkey that wasn't done early. Oh well. It needs to rest a bit before carving anyway.

Aw, nice gift!

I love your kitchen area - it's a great entertaining space.

Thanks! We really lucked out. The deck and living room off the kitchen are also great. I kind of want fancy lounge seating in that sitting area, but the chairs are versatile and handy.
