We had such a great time at our Thanksgiving Dinners (both of them!) this year! We had 19 delightful people at our house on Thursday. The best part was hearing everyone perform: several original arrangements, solos, duets, songs where we all joined it---I loved it. Such beautiful music!! It's my favorite thing to have on Thanksgiving and I wished it could go on forever.
We cooked two turkeys at the same time, one in each oven (one brined, one unbrined, and they were surprisingly similar. Both very good. And my mother-in-law's turkey the next day was even better, and she didn't do anything to it! So I am not certain whether I will brine next year's or not.), and of course there were also rolls and all the traditional dishes. Everyone's contributions were delicious, but the pies were the crowning glory: French Silk, Blueberry Cream Cheese, Pumpkin Crumble, and Caramel Apple Cheesecake. All wonderful.
Daisy took to David immediately and wouldn't leave him alone all night. It was cute to watch her chattering to him (and pilfering what she could from his pockets)
Friday it was quite warm outside, so we went on a walk and took some pictures before Feast #2. I put the girls in their matching gingerbread girl dresses (SO cute). I really hope Abe had a better grip on Junie in this picture than he appears to.
Such giggly wiggle worms! I love them!

Snug and warm

This is all they ever really want to do (figure out how things work)

What a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend! I looked out our window that Friday morning/afternoon (I can't remember which) to see you taking these lovely photos. You all looked like you were having such a great time. I almost shouted Halloo, but I didn't want to intrude. I hope you'll forgive me.
