Thanksgiving 2010!! 

My mom and I worked all day in the kitchen and around the house getting it ready. Kitchen table had to go in the living room - the couch was pushed off to the other side of the room.

Another angle.. look at the green in the kitchen poking through.

swiss chairs adorned the kitchen for a moment.

I hung a picture... My little house is starting to become cozier and cozier and very, very me.

pre dinner spread. Yum!

Did you see my mantle?? it looks so good!!

I mean.. really look at it.

 My first turkey.. mom did most of the work but I helped. We stuffed our turkey with mandarin oranges.

I like making pies.. but my sister is the best! She makes the best pecan pie you have ever had. It's chocolate bourbon pecan pie!!

Penelope.. the terror.

Just the family!
