I know that was the longest title ever... I may have gotten carried away.
This year I hosted my first Thanksgiving and along with that came many other firsts. It was a complete blast though. I loved trying to put together a nice table setting on a dime and found a lot of great deals on some classic pieces I can have in my home for years to come. I must admit I got really into the table. It was my pride and joy and the focal point of the whole event.
Table for 10
A single place setting.
Oh and this was my turkey. I thought it turned out pretty!
Cyn whipping up a delicious yam dish.
Megan helping our little indian squaw around.
How many cooks in the kitchen.
Part of the feast of the year.
Relaxing into the night.
The pretty pies I made (Caramel apple, Cherry and peach.)
Is she not the cutest thing you've ever seen? And she poses so well for the camera!! I LOVE her!
And by the end of the whole thing I felt like this!
HOWEVER: Don't be fooled by this picture. I indeed got no sleep (ok 20 min tops) thanksgiving night. I camped out at Best Buy with my friends lindsey and as she would say "Norwalk's finest..." We were both hoping for a rocking HP desktop. We were the last people in line to obtain such a treasure. However we got one... and there were two of us. How do you split a desktop? "You take the modem, I'll take the screen and keyboard?" No kind of counter productive. We decided to handle it the diplomatic way... Flip a coin. I was on the loosing end of the coin toss and walked away with a life time memory. However the lose did have a small effect on my psyche. If you think I lashed out irrationally and began to pull Lindsey's hair your far from it. I in fact proceeded to stay up and shop at every store I could until 12:30pm when I crashed. Next year it would be to my wallets benefit if I just got the item I want in the morning and go home to bed. lol.
Three cheers for your first Thanksgiving...it was DELISH!!! Additional cheers for our political correctness with the little squaw!
ReplyDeleteI have some pretty pictures of your table. In the process of setting up the new computer, but as soon as I edit them I will send them your way!
