Our much scaled down Thanksgiving included only our offspring and their families, and we were happy to be able to host once more. We discussed with the new parents especially the recommendations for setting up. DIL Ashley had read that having each family use their own set of serving utensils was suggested. Luckily, since we live in SoCalif, weather did not prevent our outdoor Thanksgiving. We were able to easily space out tables on our patio, and spent little time inside, mainly just getting food.
Grandson Dane (3 months) looked quite adorable in his button down onesie and khakis, shoes and hat! He did very well through most of the ruckus; Mama even got to eat before nursing him.
Grandson Cove (6) had a great time rummaging through the toybox and coming up with different disguises. He looks like a big bug here :)
Hope everyone's abbreviated celebrations included plenty of yummy food and, of course, pie! Our Thankful Things this year included the safe birth of twin grand-nieces the day before Thanksgiving. One is undersized and staying in the NICU for a few days, but otherwise both girls are healthy. We haven't had a girl born in the family for about 14 years and to have two at once...that is special indeed.
I have spent time with wool applique and will post about that next time.

Looks like a wonderful holiday dinner. I'm amazed at how big Cole and Hunter are. Cole is 6? Really? Hope you got in some good stitching time after the holiday.
Smart way to celebrate, Annie. Lucky that you had good weather for it.
Amazing how grandkids grow up without warning, isn't it?
First girls in 14 years? That would be very exciting! Glad they are healthy!!
Your grandchildren are so cute! Dane looks like a little man in his outfit and sitting in his chair. It is only when he is being held by his aunt that you can see the baby there!
