Thanksgiving Table

Well, I totally messed up on two accounts. I didn't take a nice family picture on Thanksgiving (even thought I curled my hair) and I didn't take pictures of us making our fabulous venison sausage and apple dressing. So we will have to make it for Christmas so I can share it with you!

But I did take some pictures of our table set for five and a booster seat! This is only the 3rd time I have used my china (I had to take the price tags off of some pieces) and the second time to use the crystal that belonged to my Papa and Memaw.

 I took some beautifully colored leaves that had fallen from our Bradford Pear outside and tied them around the napkin with some twine. I also used my every day place mats, along with the twine, to give the table a more natural fall look. And I know you're supposed to iron linen napkins, but I loved how fluffy they looked straight from the dryer.

 I spray painted our smaller pumpkins to get a little more use out of them!

  And here's my husband's smoked turkey. We had never smoked a turkey before and it was amazing. My mom always does a great job with an oven baked turkey, but just doing it differently was a little exciting this year!
