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!
So glad you had a lovely Thanksgiving and got to visit your parents. Sorry your mom is having a lot of pain. With our weather here arthritis is really acting up here too. Love your Mill Hill finish. Perfect. Can't wait to see what Spike gets into this year.

Love how your Dad gets Fancy! I think it makes the holiday more special that way. I have never tried cranberry coffee, may have to give it try. Looks forward to seeing your piece finished.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tablescape your father created! Lovely family photos. I love anything cranberry too! The cake looks yummy. Cute stitch too!!

ReplyDeleteOh yes I'm a big cranberry fan too, Astrid. I loved seeing photos of your Thanksgiving. You are truly blessed with such a lovely family. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever

Lovely family update. Your Dad certainly pushes the boat out for your dinner!
ReplyDeleteIt looks and sounds like you had a couple of great Thanksgivings. I've done that Mill Hill -- it's one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful thanksgiving table set for your lovely family.
