Giving Thanks.


We had a lovely holiday last week. My parents and grandmother, and Budges dad joined us at our house for Thanksgiving dinner. I made way too much food, but it was all good! We have been eating leftovers for days. I think Budge and I could both safely say we are over them!

The weekend before Thanksgiving I decided I would get out all my fine china a crystal and wash it to use for the holiday. The story behind my crystal and china is that my mom bought it for me from Iveys dept store (which are now called Belks) when I was born. So it is nearly 29 years old, and has never been used! I thought it was about time! I unwrapped all of the pieces and hand washed each one. It was a task, but the result was a gorgeous table setting. Luckily I had my mom and grandma to help with the hand washing after lunch.

I didn't take any photos of the holiday, because I was kinda busy cooking. But I did manage to snap one of my pretty table. The napkins and place mats are from a wedding gift. They go perfectly with the china!

Hope everyone had a lovely holiday!
