This was my first holiday to host in our new home…or
EVER! I loved every minute of it! I have always wanted to host holidays and
have lots and lots of family over!!
Matthew and I joined some of our family this year. We had the Toole’s, McPherson’s, Elliott’s
and Morrow’s! This was wonderful to have
everyone in one place and not have to travel around with an almost 4 month old
and a less social than me husband! Our
menu was a pitch-in! We loaded up on
deep fried turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, green beans, macaroni and cheese,
fruit salad, rolls, and lots of desserts!!
I am so grateful for such an amazing family that loves to help!
This was James’ official first holiday…we didn’t count
Halloween! He had a great time and
hardly napped at all! James is very,
very social!! He won’t sleep when
there’s a lot going on in fear he will miss something!!
As he was passed from one person to another he entertained
everyone with his charm, smile, and talking!
This little boy is something special and he is what I am most thankful
for this Thanksgiving and always! Last
Thanksgiving is when Matthew and I found out we were having a baby! Here’s a preview of how we told our parents! We gave them a “Thanksgiving card” the days
following.
And one year later….James is here, healthy, and the most
amazing little guy we’ve ever known!
From our family to yours…HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
