Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was lovely. Stacey hosted, and we were wowed when we walked in the door and saw the table settings that she put together. The girl's got a knack for stuff like this, everyone was totally impressed.

The pictures don't do it justice. It really looked like it came right out of a magazine.

I loved the rosette things that went around our napkins. So clever!

The kids' table was well suited for the kiddos to do lots of coloring while we finished putting things together in the kitchen.

Sometimes I still can't believe all these friends from our years in Cleveland are here with us. I'm certainly thankful for that!

We had a good time stuffing ourselves with lots of delicious food. Over at the kids table, Sydney cleaned her plate too.

She even out-ate all the boys. I've certainly been blessed with good eaters! Plus it helps that she is highly motivated by treats, and there were lots of pies to serve as bribes for eating all of her dinner.

Last one standing. 

That is not an unusual sight when eating with other families. She's usually at the table long after all the other kids have finished and gone back to playing.
