The kid's table.

Thanksgiving Tablescapes

This year Justin and I are the family hostesses to Thanksgiving dinner. We will be having 15 people coming over for dinner and I am truly excited to be hostessing this special family meal. So, I put a little effort in to making more creative table-scapes. I am almost done with the adult table and am tackling the kids table {I want theirs to be such fun} tomorrow in between bouts of cooking. I hope the end result captures the beauty {adult table} and excitement {kids table} that I feel about getting to cook this fabulous food for our wonderful family! Check back in later for pics of the kids table. For now enjoy a couple of shots of the adult table.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

FORMAL TABLE

I made the burlap & corn husk table runner, as well as,

decorated the pillar candle to compliment the theme.

On top of each guest's napkin I printed and decorated mini menus.

Close up where you can see the menus,
one of the pillar candles and a better view of the table runner.

Balloon Animals, Pictionary & Pigskin

Poppy kept the kids {both big & small} entertained
by making balloon animals and hats!

Our adorable {and smart}, 5-year-old niece drew this
picture of "GOBBLE". I guess we left out the direction

that no words or letters can be used! Too cute!

Uncle Zach & JTS playing a little football
in our gorgeous fall weather!

The natives were getting restless waiting for the turkey!

My oh my, we love pie!

It has polka dots because Mia wanted to make it look sick.

Justin; a large, loving family-both near & far; four daughters that always keep me entertained; my parents; a roof over my head; a warm bed; the best friends ever; our zoo (aka Harry, Frasier, MacGregor, Finn, Fat Ivan, 3 fish & 2 frogs); a life, that no matter how crazy it seems, is full and rich; Rock Springs and the opportunities it has afforded our family; our upcoming Thanksgiving meal; Meme; Meemaw; Grums; vacations; and, Wyoming - an awesome place to live. Most especially, I am thankful for this life, it's right where I want to be!

I am thankful for my cell phone because when I am bored I can either text or go on youtube to watch numa numa guy. And when I take my cell phone to school I have something to do on the bus and on the way home when I get picked up. I am also thankful for my dog MacGregor. (fat-pat.) When I go to sleep I know I'm safe when he is at the foot of my bed. The last is my friends and family. because they love me and listen to me when I am sad. These are the things I am thankful for.
