Thanksgiving Table in Pictures

I know we've all moved on to Christmas decor (myself included!)  however since I enjoy the process of creating a pretty table to entertain and celebrate with family, I wanted to share a few pictures I took of ours on Thanksgiving morning long before our guests arrived.  I also promised to share my Mum's stuffing recipe  (our favorite!) that I made for the first time this year.  In typical fashion though,  now that I've prepared it, I would like to make just a few adjustments to the recipe before I blog it, so you might have to wait until next November (sorry!) before I share it.  Why can't I just leave well enough alone?!  Ha.  Usually it is steps to simplify the recipe and that's the case this time too.

We had a nice Thanksgiving with my parents and my brother and his family.    There was a lot of cousin time over their stay too.  I made waaaaay too much food and we didn't even eat all our left overs. My favorite new recipe was one for pumpkin pie that was actually made by a friend.  It's another recipe I need to try make myself before I share - it was the best pumpkin pie I've ever eaten.  I believe the secret is in using homemade pumpkin puree!  And molasses!  :)  Here are a few pics of the adult (plus Andrew) table.  The flowers still look perfect today - 6 days after making the arrangement!  Hope each of you had much to be thankful for this year and were able to enjoy the holiday with people you love.
