We had a beautiful day together celebrating Thanksgiving at the Marshalls!
We decided to have our feast a little early so that everyone could be there.
Ashley had beautifully decorated her entire house with table settings full of fall touches, hand assembled fresh flower arrangements, and all the sites and smells of Thanksgiving!
The kids each had special cups with curly straws and activity pages to keep them occupied at the table.
The family gathered and talked as the final touches were being made to the buffet.
The sunroom shown with fall reflections and beckoned the children to play!
The coffee bar was full of fall flavors from pumpkin spice k-cups to apple cider.
There was even pumpkin truffle candies and pumpkin spice whip topping!
The brand new oven stood proudly in the kitchen - ready to prepare multiple stuffings and turkey!
The wine even held reminders of the grateful hearts of the day.
The front room was speckled with fall jewel tones and pumpkins.
Glistening turkeys and golden initials set off the gourds and rich red wine!
Grandma sat in a prime position to see the kitchen work and the youngsters.
After gran gave a beautiful blessing for the meal, everyone filled their plates and found their seats.
The boys were grateful for each other and for being side by side!
Lenora enjoyed the green beans, mac and cheese and rolls!
Ashley and Natalie had portions of everything - including Ashley's cranberry sauce!
Gran proudly headed up the table. She proclaimed everything was delicious!
Jack took a fun picture from his perspective!
It shows crayons side by side with his holiday plate as well as smiling faces all down the way!
Lenora enjoyed playing in ottomans as the boys played dog and owner. LOL
The boys ran circles around Emily as she "gobbled" them with a blanket.
We read How to Catch a Turkey and other Thanksgiving books as the table was cleared.
After a round of warm drinks and pumpkin pie, we all said our goodbyes.
The boys gave each other a parting hug and the day was over.
It was a perfect day filled with family, turkey and love.
Great Thanksgiving!
