Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving this year was short-lived but sweet. Short-lived because Ben had to work 10 hours on Wednesday and Friday, but sweet because of the family we got to be with. We ate with my family on Wednesday night then spent Thursday with the Petersen's. 

If you've never seen the way my mom decorates for Thanksgiving, it should go on your bucket list. It's always phenomenal. Behold:

The kids table

The dessert table

The appetizer table

The drink table

The adult table

Each place setting had its own turkey name-tag, charger and fabric napkin

The older kids table- she decorated all the way up to the chandelier

My wonderful parents with Nayeli. Isn't she just the cutest?

Thursday was also wonderful. We left early to drive to Ben's mom's house, spent the day eating, playing ping-pong and Settlers of Catan, then drove to Ogden to be with his Dad and grandparent's. It was an exhausting and wonderful day. The holidays always are, but they're always worth it.
