Thanksgiving x2 đŸœđŸ·

As much as I love everything pumpkin, I'm happy it's cranberry time!
Cranberry coffee with cranberry cake, what a beautiful way to start the day.



Thanksgiving eve brought DH and I to this new place, Sapwood Cellars. I had the Thanks and Giving, with cranberries of course! It wasn't bad, but definitely could have had more cranberry flavour. 


It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without watching the parade... it's Toothless, from How to Train Your Dragon.


Oh boy, SpongeBob


Mini Bobs


That Grinch


Father Christmas!


The only pictures taken that night were of my chosen sisters, and we were colour coordinated!


Saturday brought us through the mountains to my parents house to have Thanksgiving with them.


Nathan reading an old annual while waiting for dinner.


Dad loves to get fancy for special dinners.


And you can't be there without having a "few" photos taken.
Mom is doing okay, although she seems to be in more pain from her arthritis, but she's tough. Dad was exhausted, so we took over prepping for dinner when we got there so he got to relax and chit chat.


Oh my, another picture! Gman2 spent the night with them so Dad could take him to the train station in Cumberland on Sunday evening to head back to school. He'll be back mid December for break, so it will be nice to have all the boys back home!


And in stitching news, I've finished this and just need to put it together. Maybe that's something Spike will do tonight since tomorrow is DECEMBER!
