The weather cooperated for the most part, providing lovely sunny days for walking in the woods. We drove out to York Forest, where we were able to hike in short sleeves if you can believe it. Sunday was rainy and dark, so we headed over to the McMichael Gallery to enjoy some amazing art exhibits. On our way home, we drove by a turkey waddling along the road. The irony was a bit much, and I felt a little bit guilty about heading home to our mouth watering dinner. I trust that particular turkey had made a hasty retreat from the specific danger his kind faces at Thanksgiving. I'm sure he was one grateful bird.

There was no shortage of delicious food, that's for sure! Everyone worked hard to create a Thanksgiving feast that was a huge success.

We have decided to make an effort to use our good china more often. It is such a pretty pattern and the table looks so beautiful all set for a holiday dinner. I am hoping the girls remember all of the special touches that go into preparing and celebrating together. We gave them the job of setting the table and they quite enjoyed it - even if it wasn't set up to Downton Abbey standards!
All of the goings on were a little much for one member of the family, who sought refuge under a dining room chair. She peeked out a few times as the scent of turkey piqued her interest, but otherwise, she enjoyed her little cocoon.
This week it is back into the sewing room to prepare for the next big holiday - Christmas! Many dog bone stocking are awaiting my attention, along with a few Santa sacks that will be great for gift giving. Have a happy day!
