We had a great Thanksgiving. I had a blast getting ready for the Thanksgiving. Mostly cause Chris was going to be home for four straight days. I just wasn't used to him being around so much. Hopefully someday I won't be surprised when I wake up and he is still there. We just feel so fortunate to have wonderful kids, along with the gospel and a country where we are able to have religious freedoms. We had three families over for Thanksgiving day. The Richards (which me missed Will, but are so glad he is doing better), Blackhams, and the Smiths. Making a total of 22(minus Will). We ate tons of yummy food, laughed, talked, and played the Beatles Rock band. I am so mad for some reason I didn't take any pictures of the best part the people that came. So I guess all I can show is the fun table setting. I had a blast putting together. Learned how to make a center pieces. I also loved that we were all able to write down on the table the things we were grateful for. Then the mints(M&M's and Irish Creme Hershey Kisses) that I wrapped and put as table toppers. So fun and such a full night.

22?! Way to go! I had 10 people over a few weeks ago and it was hard, I can't even imagine 22, including kids! Beautiful job also.
Your table looks so pretty, and I am super impressed with your arrangements! I'm glad you had a fantastic Thanksgiving and we're excited to see you for Christopher's baptism in 2 weeks!
What a beautiful table!
Gorgeous! You are just amazing. I love the things that you pull off! It was so fun to hear updates about your cute fam from Nikki, we really need to all get together sometime, maybe next Thanksgiving (but I'm not decorating, I'm ashamed to show you what my table looked like compared to yours)! So glad it was a great day, and by the way, I agree with your thoughts about kids and work, now I just need to be as good as you are about delegating!
Your table settings were amazing! You have always been one that tries to make things special. Mark has been looking at buying some businesses in NC so who knows, maybe we'll finally be able to visit you!
Martha Stewart doesn't have anything on you! The tables are beautiful and you are right - the friends gathered around are the best "accessory" of all! Love you and can't wait to see you in Salt Lake!
