Thanksgiving at our house. 🍁

 

Thanksgiving at our house. 🍁

Some years, the table stretches from one side of the house to the other.
This year, it was smaller—
more intimate—
everyone gathered around my dining room table.

But the joy? Still the same. ❤️

I love the prep as much as the meal itself—
the early morning organization,
being alone in the kitchen,
timing every dish just right,
and calling on Alex when I need a hand.

Adam took care of the star of the show this year—
the prime rib—
and he did it perfectly.

Thank you @Oliversbutcherandcatering!

By the time everyone arrived,
the house smelled like tradition.


🍴 Menu Highlights
Appetizers
• Shrimp & cocktail sauce
• Charcuterie board

Dinner
• Prime rib (prepared by Adam!)
• Burgundy mushrooms
• Fresh pumpkin bread
• Scalloped potatoes
• Squash, turnips & carrots

Dessert

I truly love the morning hustle—
the cooking, the cleaning,
and the quiet before the company arrives.

Because that’s what Thanksgiving is about for me:
family, food, gratitude,
and the joy found in every small, meaningful detail.

How was your Thanksgiving table this year—big or small?
👇 I’d love to hear how you celebrated.
