My daughter has china for every holiday (adorable bunnies at Easter, reindeer and other wild critters in the snow at Christmas, etc.) but I only have good white china (and even that doesn't come out much anymore) so I used some hand-painted pumpkin napkins that I found at William Sonoma to fancy it up a bit.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-68948826824350087382018-11-26T05:09:55.430-08:002018-11-26T05:09:55.430-08:00The food looks fabulous and having family around t...The food looks fabulous and having family around the table is the best part of the holiday -- no matter who cooks.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-62389639439590518592018-11-25T17:51:13.869-08:002018-11-25T17:51:13.869-08:00Your Thanksgiving looks just perfect.

This year we went to my youngest daughter's for dinner. They have moved back to NC. We are thankful for that. I find it harder now to do it all myself too.

I did send some home with my youngest son and his family... but we basically finished a turkey and a ham (and various veggies) in 2 days! This was a first... as usually we have turkey and ham left over that we share with the outside ferals. However, I'm sure DH shared some with them when he first cut up the turkey.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-72029854773396106242018-11-25T13:48:29.381-08:002018-11-25T13:48:29.381-08:00Thanks, Eileen.
