We had a yummy and enjoyable Thanksgiving shared with friends. I’m glad we changed the schedule around and ate at 2 p.m. instead of 4 p.m.–having a gap between food and dessert made round two more enjoyable. The weather was pleasant and a beautiful Fall day so we got out and walked off some of the consumed calories. The food was really good; however it was my fourth year burning the candied yams! I just can’t get it down–although they were still edible and yummy. Also, I have given up on my Mom’s homemade rolls. Last year I burnt them; this year I undercooked them. I kept telling myself that my Mom has had 20+ years of baking rolls. I only have a few pictures and still waiting for copies of pictures from the other cameras (hint, hint). My friend Heidi helped put together the table, which turned out really nice. For the name place cards we used little white pumpkins and attached berry branches with cards.

you are so cute! and i love your place cards – how fun! glad you had a good thanksgiving.
What a cute family! Your TG sounds wonderful — for me the biggest thing is the family being together.
Darleen – I had so much fun, obviously since I wouldn’t leave 🙂 I think next year will be our year! With the yams and the rolls. We will have learned from our past mistakes and plus we will have our practice run early. Thank you for being my Thanksgiving family for the past three years. I’ll send on more pictures soon.

The place settings were very cute! I’m glad you had a good Thanksgiving. I don’t know if I’ll ever try making homemade rolls, so good job even trying! Your hearth over the fire place looks nice and wide. I bet that will be fun to decorate for Christmas.
Your table looked beautiful. I had high hopes but by the end of cooking the meal I was just lucky to get food on the table.;) Better luck next year right? Love the fireplace!
I’m so glad I did not have to do any main cooking jobs like turkey or rolls. Your a trooper. At least your home looked beautiful. I am thankful for such a wonderfully creative sister.
You guys are so stinkin cute–what a beautiful family and a Happy Thanksgiving!! Beautiful table, too.
