my thanksgiving

this year was a big year, as I graduated from the kid's table (i'm the youngest of four girls and have always managed to avoid the cooking and have enjoyed joining the children at the kid's table) all the way to hosting thanksgiving dinner at my home! it was a big leap, but i was still able to avoid a lot of the cooking (thanks to mom-in-law)...


...and really enjoyed making the environment of the meal reflective of my favorite fall things...




...ellie helped with the name cards and even added a little decor to the table herself...



although i missed my grandmas, parents, sisters and their families (my first thanksgiving without them), it was a great day as i was overwhelmed with contemplations of God's undeserved goodness to me.

now off to devour the leftovers!

How was your thanksgiving?
