I did it! After much planning and preparation, I hosted my very first Thanksgiving! We had my parents (my brother is away at school in Cali and stayed up there with my mom's sister and her family) Ben's parents and Ben's sisters. The food was great, the house smelled amazing and the time spent together was wonderful! I wish I'd taken more pictures, but here are a few moments I managed to capture:
My table =)
Place settings
Basting Turkey McGee (I basted that sucker every 30 minutes on the dot for over 4 hours!)
My Great-Grandma's Gravy... it brought tears to my Mom's eyes... she said she hasn't tasted it since the last time her Grams made it =)
My Dad and Ben carving McGee.
And of course a family snuggle to finish the evening!
Our Tree
"The Stockings were hung by the chimney with care...."
My little tree I made for my nightstand.
It has little secret family tokens hidden all throughout... doggies, ballerinas and music notes!
