The fam came over for Thanksgiving again this year and we also hosted some friends too. We had nine people total and we prepared a non-traditional dinner; two types of pot roast --
both delicious,
streuseled sweet potatoes,
quinoa risotto, spinach/cranberry salad, and crescent rolls (always a staple!). Everything was delicious! My mom brought an awesome pecan pie, Courtney made her family cheesecake, Kira made a pumpkin pie from scratch, and Lucas made his frozen chocolate pies. YUM! Ellie and Dax had quite a good time licking up the leftovers too! I was also a little crafty this year . . . of course I did not come up with these things on my own, I will link the blogs where I got my ideas!
A gave these as favors, I completely stole the idea from
Nicole's blog (she finds the best things ever) and she got it from
Martha. I added ribbon to the boxes because they needed something. I also used this
maple sugar cookie recipe, but wasn't that impressed. I will probably try to find another, it wasn't maplely enough for me! I also just rolled the cookies into balls, then rolled them in sugar instead of using a cookie cutter.
The start of
this project.
The finished product -- pilgrim hat place cards!
My table looked like this . . .
The whole fam -- this is the posed version.
The best dogs ever! Ellie and Dax.
The real fam! I love it!
Me and the boy.
Meg and me.
