Thanksgiving at home

We had Brads family out for our first Thanksgiving in our new house. It was nice to see them and meet Jason and Elise's little baby Hudson for the first time. Rachel came from NY to see us twice over the course of a week - because she is just that nice. Madeline loved all the attention and of course couldn't be happier with having a little baby in the house
(which was a relief to us - since there will be a permanent one arriving in a few weeks)
I just wish Rebecca and her little family could have been there with us. We really missed having them and I know Maddie would have loved playing with Ryan, Megan and Jared.

Grandpa taught Maddie how to hold a toothpick in her mouth.
Dinner in the city
 



Brad and I hosted Thanksgiving dinner with friends a few years ago but we didn't have quite this many people. I was nervous cooking for everyone but it worked out so well we ended up having two Thanksgivings - I think they both turned out lovely. I asked Elise to document the dinner - she did so beautifully. Thank you Elise

After dinner, we went for a walk with family and the neighbor girls.


And spent a little time in Boston

It was so much fun to come up. Thank you so much for hosting!
You must hate me for not sending my pics. I am terrible about uploading! I'm so sorry. I will send this weekend, although now that you've posted you probably are over it. I'm sorry!

Those pictures turned out so great! Those poor orange rolls.....that same thing happened here......weird. I've never had such bad luck with them. Anyway, I sure had a great time being with everyone at your beautiful home! Thanks again for all your hard work!
