i don't like sweet potatoes but...

i  love thanksgiving!

 i really can't stand it when people skip over it in a hurry to rush right in to christmas because it's my #1 holiday!

this year was a special one spent in the city with some of my besties... 

H+J+i put on our martha faces and made it real fancy. 

props to J who handmade feather headbands to wrap around her gold flatware and then worn on our indian heads while we ate. so pretty! we sprinkled acorns and berries sprinkled on the runner for a little extra wow and everyone got their own assigned seat and personalized indian name.

oh and we made these little guys. which A got dared to eat in one bite; and he did. shout out to him, it was really a hilarious and stomach churning feat!

H was in charge of the turkey and gravy and she even homemade bread for the stuffing. it was in-credible. we had cranberry crunch and green bean casserole and rolls and corn and salad and mashed potatoes (fav.) and on and on and into nap time and games and then pumpkin pie and lemon meringue. i had a really mature food baby for the rest of the night... and well into  the following day. it was so worth it.i am still convinced i am the most blessed girl alive and that makes me grateful for so much. if i started it would just never end. so i guess you'll just have to believe me!
