Thanksgiving 2015

This year, we hosted thanksgiving at our home and invited some friends/family that live in the neighborhood. The Marinelli's (our pool neighbors and more like family) Nana Pat, Papa Joe, Uncle Kevin #2 and his friend Isabelle. We also had the McIntyre's that live across the street with their two adorable children- Sophia (3) and Louis (1). 
It was a wonderful day- I spent the morning cooking and dad worked so hard finishing the sunroom (a project he's been working nights and weekends on For. Ev. Er!) so we could set up a table and eat in there. And it was so great! It was a beautiful fall day and we sat around the big table with the new floor-to-ceiling windows open and enjoyed our wonderful meal and conversation. Later that evening our family's 'scout elves' came back from the North Pole to see how the kids are behaving so they can report to Santa every day! 
I was too busy enjoying myself with our friends and family so I didn't take many pictures but I will share what I have- I hope you all had as amazing of a day/weekend as our family did. Love to you all!!

Burke Thanksgiving 2014

We had such a nice Thanksgving. We initially had NO plans and were looking forward to it! Then we got an invitation to go to our friends the Marinelli's and accepted. It was really nice not having to plan and prepare a meal. We just relaxed together and then the kids and I made a couple of desserts and appetizers. Lunch was so great and the company was even better. Pat and Joe made place cards for 'King Mikey' and 'Princess Kaitlyn' that included balloons! Even the tablecloth was a coloring activity for us! And when we got home, our Elves had returned from the North Pole!! They even brought gifts- puzzles and a movie for Mikey (Thomas, of course) and the Frozwn soundtrack for Kaitlyn (thanks.). We've missed Red Sparkle and Buddy and can't wait to see what they will be up to leading up to Christmas. We are very THANKFUL for the friends and family in our lives!!
