We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have a ton of leftovers to prove it - I finished off meal #5 today for lunch - then snoozed away most of the afternoon. Tyler came home from camp - without a deer - but he still has next weekend. Now it's time to plan for the Christmas Open House on the 19th!
WARNING: I took way too many pictures, and I am going to post them all, mostly for my mom. Enjoy!
First take - I cut off most of the guests at the table!
Food, and lots of it!
Self-timer mishap. But I love the look on Katie and Lizzie's faces!
And here is the whole crew: Joanie, Jeanie, Dennis, Tyler, me, Gabe, Matt, Katie and Lizzie
Susie helped us with this beautiful tabletop, set by Gabe - thank you both!
Matt works off his meal with Fred-lifts.
Relaxing...
Susie was an amazing help... she washed all of the dishes after dinner (with help from Brody???)
Fred and his dog-best friend, Brody eat their Thanksgiving - no turkey here.
And then Brody begs for more food...
Fred found two more BFF's with Katie and Lizzie
Finally, I get to sit down and relax!
Black Friday: When guests come over, expect to be put to work! Haha! Dennis is fixing our crooked dishwasher.
I took out all of the Christmas decorations, and Fred made himself comfy.
Joanie, Wayne and Cole made these for Thanksgiving - are they the cutest?!
With a snowstorm coming, I was happy to have so many leftovers!
This is what it looked like all day Friday. Not good for hunting, or my mood. Watched a lot of tv Friday!
And the snow begins around 3:30 Friday!
Fred is not phased. Yet.
Leftovers #3!
Tried to take Fred out to potty, but he wasn't sure what he was stepping on.
He took a few steps...
...went potty, and then came running back in!
Still unsure what the white stuff is...
Goodnight Friday!
Hello Saturday!
Coat time!
Fred found the place with the least snow to potty... I'm not sure he liked having his picture taken!
Once he discovered that snow was fun, Fred ran around like a rabbit!
Back in the house where it is warm, I thought I'd take pics of our new, used furniture. We bought this from one of my students.
And the coffee table and end tables.
Table we bought from previous owners.
Lots of deer tracks in our front yard!
This was the 3 seconds that the sun came out all weekend!
I'm glad I bought the barn coat for Fred, otherwise he does look like a bunny.
He was all smiles!

Looks like you put together a lovely Thanksgiving dinner party. Congratulations- what a lot of work, but also a lot of fun! The house looks fantastic! NO SNOW here in Fairfax- can you believe what a huge difference, only an hour away??
ReplyDeleteGrammie says, "It looks quite nice and you certainly did have enough food!"
ReplyDeleteYour Thanksgiving feast looked lovely. It was fun to see all the pictures of your new home and those that helped you celebrate!
ReplyDeleteMy French Riviera Thanksgiving had 28 people and just a few leftovers - but lots of leftover desserts, some of which we took home and enjoyed Sunday with our tea. But your photos of the snow make me homesick!
ReplyDeletecongrats on hosting your first T-day!
Your house is beautiful - so open and airy. How did you get your table to be so long? Lots of added leaves? Or two tables put together.
ReplyDeleteSelf timer mishap?! That looks like on purpose!
Looks like Fred is getting used to the snow.
Your pictures of the first snow are beautiful. No snow down her in West Wareham, MA...maybe tonight?
