Friendsgiving

Today Emma and I had so much fun hosting our very first Friendsgiving! We got to try out a bunch of new thanksgiving recipes (we'll be sharing our favorites with you soon!) and spend time with friends. The only problem with Friendsgiving is that I wish I had room for WAY more friends. Not a bad problem to have. Emma roasted her first thanksgiving turkey! It was 20 pounds and locally raised. It was pretty exciting and it turned out beautiful. I enjoyed using my new bar cart! We tried a few new cocktails and also a hot spiced chai. After our gigantic lunch we also ate homemade pies and watched the kids turn our dining room into a giant play house, wrapping yarn around and around and around and around. It was pretty cute! 

We hope your weekend was amazing too! xoxo. Elsie

PS. Special thank you to all our friends who joined us for Friendsgiving! Love you very much Jeremy, Trey, Mallory, Doren, Penny, Johnny, Katie, Hope, Poesy, Becky + Jacob (listen to their band, The Honey Trees, it's beautiful) and Simon (download his new app, Afterglow!).
