it was such a beautiful day. nice enough to be outside watching the entertainment. kids and leaves. can't beat that combination.
a little fall football...
cousins catching up...
big kids get involved, too...
my grandson and grandnephew wave hi...
our immediate family celebrated thanksgiving on sunday. i had big plans to set a beautiful table...good china and crystal. i was ahead of the game with the food. i did most of it on saturday and just left the turkey to cook while we were at church. but the tablescape just wasn't happening. i was running out of time. i was trying to decide how to fit everyone at our table. i walked outside, enjoying the even warmer day than thursday, reminiscing about how bitterly cold it was this time last year, thinking that today was warm enough to eat outside....
holy cow. it's warm enough to eat outside!
which was exactly what we did. i put two pretty lace tablecloths on the picnic table and the round glass topped table, ran an autumn leaf garland down the center, brought out some inexpensive glass plates, stuck flea market gold colored napkins into my flea market turkey napkin rings, and we ate outside. we built a fire in the fire pit for atmosphere. it was wonderful. a thanksgiving picnic. a first.
of course, i forgot to take pictures. oh well.
now let me think here a minute...
we had an earthquake this summer, snow on halloween, and a picnic on thanksgiving....hmmm....
