The only event of note this November is of course Thanksgiving. Since we moved into this house 4 years ago, we've had both sides of our family (parents, sisters & their husbands) over for one big Thanksgivng feast. The first year I cooked everything, which was great, but everyone kept asking if there was anything they could bring, so subsequent years have been "potlucks" - Heath and I handle the meat (turkey, ham), mashed potatoes, gravy, and 1 dessert (lately pumpkin cheesecake) and everyone else brings their favorite sides. It's a lot easier for me (not as much oven scheduling) and no one feels guilty for not bringing anything. :-P
Of course I'm still always busy in the kitchen, either cooking or doing the dishes (which my sister always helps with because she is AWESOME) but I did manage to get pictures of the place settings before everyone came over to feast.
I got the leaf placemats at Bed Bath & Beyond for less than $2 each, and they really go well with my grandmother's autumn china that we always use for Thanksgiving.
My sister brought an edible arrangement - yum!
I can't believe November's almost over. Where does the time go? I just don't know!
