This Thanksgiving for most of us was unlike any holiday we’ve celebrated before. Less people and smaller portions but still the same amount of thankfulness and gratitude expressed- possibly even more than usual. We shared in our smaller group how grateful we are for one another, how we missed the family and friends we couldn’t spend the day with and most importantly our good health. We called, texted and FaceTimed our family who we missed. We discussed our traditions and talked about how we can’t wait to celebrate together next year. If anything, this year has made us appreciate the most simple things in life. From passing a thanksgiving side dish to laughing about stuffing spilled in the driveway (inside joke…!) we will surely never take for granted another holiday spent with our loved ones around the table.
Our thanksgiving dinner for five was still filled with thanks and amazing food! We made all of our traditional dishes with the exception of the portions being cut in half. Along with our mom we made a delicious turkey served with all of our favorite sides: pasta with marinara sauce, stuffing, cranberries, gravy, mashed potatoes, cornbread casserole and butternut squash. Yum! We set the table very simply with light colored pumpkins, textured charger plates and pretty matching dishes. Keep scrolling below to check out all of our Thanksgiving day details.
We loved a touch of silver on the linen tones with our napkin rings and platter that served as a part of our centerpiece!
We like to serve all our sides in white serving pieces for a classic look! Can’t forget our butter turkey either!
A full plate…had to go back for seconds (and thirds) because it wouldn’t all fit!
