thankful

We have so many things we are thankful for, especially these two:

We had the pleasure of spending Thanksgiving with Ben & Megan & EB and their family this year. It has become a bit of a tradition, and it has been really fun. This time last year, EB was only three weeks old and tiny. This year, he was enjoying the meal with the rest of us! Isn't that frisée salad pretty?

I'm always trying to get a good family photo (everyone looking the same direction looking somewhat pleased). This is very difficult whit two active children. As you can see from the roll below, Hudson is photo bombing with a fish toy, that I end up taking and he then looks for...

Never a dull moment! They boys love playing in EB's playroom. The novelty of OKT (other kid's toys) never seems to wear off!

They especially enjoyed making music with the ukulele and moraccas. 

The meal was delicious. I made , popovers and stuffing. Megan & Ben did everything else (turkey, kale & collard green gratin, roasted root veggies & mashed celery root) which was so yummy! 

She also made pumpkin & chocolate pecan pie as well as homemade ice cream which were all decadent (so much so that they were gone before I remembered to photograph them!). Our lovely hosts!

We are so blessed to have such lovely, gracious friends. And we did manage to get this family photo.
