Happy Thanksgiving!

 We had a lovely Thanksgiving long weekend. I started cooking Monday, and Issa came home Tuesday. By Thursday, we were able to just settle in and enjoy the holiday. My Thanksgiving table is always my favorite:

Silverware and glassware from grandparents, dishes from a friend's antique store, pottery napkin rings and gravy boat I made, and the new addition this year:
A Lego centerpiece assembled by the kids.

My turkey finished an hour early, but I really think it was our best yet:
The whole meal was actually perfect, and the beautiful weather let us venture out for a walk before settling in to watch Wicked and graze on leftovers:
Friday morning, we started with breakfast at our new favorite little spot before heading back to the fire station to get our trees:
It was a bit chilly for Issa's liking:
But we did get beautiful trees:
And we got all of Nana's outside decorations up:
Before we set our tree up:
We made balls from the Thanksgiving leftovers for Friday dinner, which we delicious, and Saturday we went to see the second installment of Wicked before trying a new taco place that is stellar!

Sunday, we all just rested, decorated, and generally enjoyed being. Even Bella slowed down a bit:
I also finished book 29:
This book club read is a Hallmark movie in book form. It was just fun and a great way to kick off the season.
