Truly, there is so much to be grateful for. We had a quiet, fairly well documented Thanksgiving, followed by a not-so-quiet and not at all documented birthday. Sometimes the more fun you are having, the less you think about your camera. Sometimes.
Bella made us pies (Asher added the marshmallows).
Asher the cranberry sauce.
The winter garden was raided for filling up that turkey cavity (with six of us we had a small one, and no stuffing fans among us).
The children spent some time on Pottermore (alright, maybe it wasn't just the children).
We went for both pre and post dinner walks where we admired mushrooms, climbed the play structures, collected conkers, and worked up an appetite (firstly for dinner, secondly for dessert).
The girls organized a beautiful table (thank you Jordan and Darrin for the potatoes!), and we spent a long time eating...
...some with more elegance than others.
It really was a tremendous day. And yesterday was my birthday, so we had friends over for an Indian feast (which I cooked as it was also one of our friend's birthday), and we were all up until almost midnight, the company was so good.
So very, very much to be grateful for.
:-D

Ah, I have a drumstick lover, as well, no small feat when it comes to turkeys.
And for what it's worth? I think olive-capped fingers are the ne plus ultra of elegance. Pass it on.
A very happy end-of-November to you, my dear.
xo,
Molly
