Thanksgiving 2011

We had such a great Thanksgiving this year. We were lucky enough spend it with our good friends Matt and Eliza and their family. They came over to our house and brought most of the food with them. It was a pretty sweet deal all around if you ask me. Here's some of the spread.

Matt is a turkey professional. The turkey this year was absolutely amazing.

Here he is Matt with the turkey in 2008.
And 2007. We are lucky to live by Matt so he can cook the turkey for us each year.

We used our china we brought back from England two summers ago.

After dinner, we sat around and talked and let the kiddos play. The day was perfect. Here are Matt and Eliza. (Thanks for saving our Thanksgiving!)

We did puzzles. Ok so mostly just Robbie and Babs but the my kiddos did their best to destroy the puzzle which is why I say we.

The kiddos had lot of fun.
They spent lots of time in the backyard.


The dads supervised.

Eliza and I like to have babies around the same time. Gouverneur and Lars are just three weeks apart. (Doesn't Eliza look darling btw?!?)

I love taking pictures of the kiddos side-by-side.

Here is Sterling Henry and Ida three years ago. They are just 8 days apart.
We had a great Thanksgiving. Thank you Matt, Eliza, Hannah, Robbie, Babs, and Harry for joining us and sharing your family with us.
