Every year we have Thanksgiving at my parents home. My kiddos adore them and their house. It has ample amount of running room where they can go wild. Here are a few snippets from my parent's home out in the country and our Thanksgiving dinner...
Of course eating was high on the priority list. Ellie ate so much she got a tummy ache. She is so her mama. By the end of the night I shared in the pain. KJ indulged in rolls and bananas. I think all the choices left him a little overwhelmed.
We also had the pleasure of playing my sister's wii. We had a blast and I couldn't believe how sore I was the next day. The other two days of vacation were pure bliss. Kellen was home and we lazed around and decorated for Christmas. It truly was a time where I felt overwhelmingly blessed. Oh, yes I sat there and cried with pure joy. I am such a nut. How was your Thanksgiving holiday?
*also a huge thank you to Sharon who placed me in the the top 20 of design blogs. Love being placed by all my favorites and many who inspired me to start blogging over 2 years ago.

Congratulations on the mention! It's very well deserved. And I adored the pictures of your holiday. The food looks amazing although, if I eat another bite of food, I may pop. I'm so like your daughter in that way!

Looks like a great time was had by all!
Sounds like a wonderful holiday weekend! Tears of joy are a good thing :-) Have a great week...
There's something about the holidays that gets so emotional. As we age, it gets WORSE! I always feel like I need to enjoy and savor every moment, and then I get stressed ... it's beautiful to be with family on the holidays.
AND ... I need to get decorating for Xmas!
oh my what a gorgeous home! the holidays always remind us of how blessed we are, don't they?!
looks like a perfect thanksgiving Paula! Love KJ's tie.:)

Look at that feast! I'm hungry just looking at all that goodness.
And congrats on being placed in the top 20 design blogs - very well deserved!
I was a little mopey, as Thanksgiving is a huge holiday in our family, and it's tough being down here, and missing the whole she-bang, but I was very thankful for the stand-in family and friends we celebrated with.
Your images always make me so happy!
Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous photos!
I just stumbled on your lovely blog and I've added it to my reader. I love finding fellow Alabama bloggers :)
I don't blame her for eating till her tummy ached - it all looks so delicious. Thanksgiving meals always make me long for our Christmas dinner here in England - roll on 25th!
