I had this great plan that I would take pictures all day of our lovely, and quiet Thanksgiving.
....but life took over and my camera sat collecting dust on the hutch.
I had a very cranky baby, a very sick big girl, I was cooking the meal(which I love doing), and thus a very bored 4 year old. I would like to announce that our TV was on for 13 hours straight and I was okay letting that go.
But we did a little baking to keep Esther occupied.

My hands were full. That is also why we did not have homemade whipped cream.
But my heart was full too.
But my heart was full too.
I did catch a few kisses.
..and a break from laying on the couch for a project with Papa.
It was a perfect day even without all of the pictures, and it is fully captured in pictures in my heart.

Awww, I can totally relate. I never get the photos I want on our very busy days. But the memories are in my head, I only need a few good shots to trigger them. Those pastries look delish - pumpkin inside of cookies? Little tiny pumpkin pies? Whatever they are, yummmm.
Very beautiful table setting... sounds like a lovely day (aside from the cranky baby and sick big girl part). But, that's life. As least you weren't looking for poison like that poor Bekki girl.
Wow, I agree with the previous poster, what a gorgeous table decorations! And the window box is fabulous, too!
So sorry that Eloise was under the weather, hope that she's on the mend!
Glad you had a nice, quiet Thanksgiving! I sometimes think those are the best kind. Not all memories have to be (or can be) recorded, some are best kept in the heart!
ooh, I love your table and your little tarts. I too dreamt of lots of photos but the work was calling.
Let's throw a party together sometime.
I never seem to capture the photos either. And am never in the ones I do.
Your petite pumpkin pies are adorable! Who needs whipped cream when they are that cute, really!
I made a Deistel free range turkey and was a bit nervous about it. First because my step brother John usually handles it, so I'm rusty as far as that goes. Secondly my mom's oven was acting a little strange.
So I put in in at 500 degrees on roast convection and then turned it down to 375. Well in about an hour it looked done... and company wasn't expected for 3 more hours! Turned it down once more and changed the setting to bake on 325...It was juicy, moist and delicious. Once we had a glass of champagne and of course each other it was really quite funny! Hope the beautiful girls including you are all feeling terrific now! xoxo
