We were very fortunate and thankful to spend time with LOTS of family this Thanksgiving. We hosted Thanksgiving at our home for Greg's mom and two brothers, my parents, my brother, and my sister and brother in law.
Mom and I got up at 8am Thanksgiving morning, put in the turkey and went for a cold jog around Independence. I was able to truly appreciate how nice it is having your family visit your home and experience some of the things you do every day. The rest of the morning flew by as we showered, got ready, had a small snack, and guests began to arrive.

All in all, the first Thanksgiving at our place went quite well. We had a lot of fun having our families together and appreciated all the help!
Fun! Was this your first time hosting the family for a holiday? It looks like it was a success. The decorations look great!

ReplyDeleteYes, it was the first time and a lot of fun! Glad that we have such a spacious area for everyone to fit! Greg and I will have to stop by and visit you and Jeremy before Christmas rolls around.
