Hosting Thanksgiving

For the first time ever, we hosted Thanksgiving dinner. If you know me well, you know this was a big deal. Hosting gatherings at my home tends to stress me out, but I'm doing a lot better with it. We enjoyed a really delightful afternoon of eating, resting, playing, and chatting. It was lovely!

The grandmas relax before eating.

Aunt Debbie helped the kids make gumdrop turkeys.

The babies were ready for their nap even before we started eating.

H spent half the afternoon reading to relatives. (He volunteered!)

That all looks so wonderful. I'm so jealous. I wish we were there!

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing the pictures. If we can't be there, it's nice to at least see some of the pictures...especially of the grandmas!

The house looks so great! I love seeing the Christmas stockings up. It is so precious how much Harry loves reading. Tell him he must promise to read me a story when we return from our mission!
