Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Thanksgiving at The Stilish Family Table

Cute Thanksgiving banner compliments of dimpleprints.com
Cheese appetizer to tide everyone over...hurry before the "mice" eat it all!
We never had kid's tables like these when I was little!
The devastation...post-gorge
Bread cornucopia holding...bread
My daughter/photographer didn't make it to the dessert table before everyone starting digging in!

This was such a special and fun Thanksgiving! The first in our new house, it was a challenge to find everything. Once we did, it came together pretty well! We had family, friends and lots to be thankful for. What made all the pre-dinner chaos worthwhile was when my friend Mary walked in and said she felt like she had just walked into Thanksgiving-land! ...I think that was a complement...in my Martha-esque world it is!! I am thankful for a couple of awesome websites for some wonderfully inspiring ideas...dimpleprints for the free Thanksgiving downloadable decorations (we made the banner and decorations for the kid's table napkin rings and crayon jars) and Party Animal for the great turkey party favor and Indian corn cupcake ideas! Check them out...they'll inspire you to create your own Thanksgiving-land, too!

  11. I'm "Mary"...and YES, oh YES! Thanksgiving-land is high praise, indeed! Not only was Julie's house so wonderful to look at (cute & clever), the food was AmAzING! Desserts (the only reason you eat "real" food) were spectacular! Thank you so much for incorporating my "little" band into your beautiful family! We truly felt "at home"! Kisses & Hugs, Mary

  12. You just visited my blog today and now am following you and what a pleasure it is to do so! The food looks incredible and though I am from the sunny isles of the Bahamas my dream is to visit Ireland one day. I will be stopping by here a lot to learn recipes and we seem to have the similar outlook on faith in God too. Am happy to meet you!
