Home again, home again…
I am so beyond thankful for my amazing family, and our safe, relaxing Thanksgiving. For me, there is nothing more rejuvenating than being together with the people you care about most.
Here we (Meeker and I) are in Santa Fe, NM. We spent the day after Thanksgiving walking, talking and window shopping with 18 of my family members, ages 1 -83.
There were the coolest kitchen shops.
However, Santa Fe isn’t the cheapest place on earth, so I didn’t buy anything. But I sure had fun looking and just hanging out with everybody.
From left to right: my mom, me, Meeker and my aunt Sheryl.
I had just woken up from a car nap about 10 minutes before this picture – so excuse the bed head/puffy eyes. I’m so vain.
My mom did buy me a beautiful handmade mug for an early birthday present in Toas, NM on the way home.
This picture was actually taken this morning with my coffee, but I had to throw it in here to show it off. Isn’t that color gorgeous?!
We stopped at Meeker’s grandparents’ ranch on the way back and had a delicious bowl “Turkey Leftover Soup” before heading home. I love it when our families can all be together around the dinner table.
Beautiful soup…
and beautiful scenery taken from the backseat.
Meeker took this picture of me as we were almost home after our long car ride. I was really ready to be out of the car.
After a fantastic night’s sleep in my own bed, snuggling with my puppy, this morning was spent at church and at lunch with Meeker’s family – and then home again to clean and organize before the upcoming week. This last week flew by, but it was so wonderful to spend it with my family. It’s hard to believe that Christmas break is only 3 weeks away!
What was the best part of your Thanksgiving?
Wow! Sounds like a nice time. I love the coffee cup your mom gave ya. I collect pottery – it makes food and drink taste better, doesn’t it?
Great photos!
I love the cute cake plates ….. I am a HUGE cake fan myself !
Nice “ode” to your family Thanksgiving! It’s definitely a treat when we can savor and appreciate the times we have with those closest to us.

That store looks amazing! Glad you had a great Thanksgiving with your fam
Love that mug! Your so right that the color is gorgeous! Cute family pictures too and I am glad you enjoyed Sante Fe, I’ve heard wonderful things about it. My favorite part of Thanksgiving was that I got to spend it with Darin (my B.F.) for the first time ever! After 11 years of dating this was our first one, since we usually go to our own families meals.
That store looks amazing! I would probably spend a fortune if I ever ended up in Santa Fe!
Looks like you had a great time!
