Thanksgiving Wrap Up

Since Nick and I got married, we have really enjoyed starting our own holiday traditions.  One thing we have loved is cooking our own Thanksgiving dinner, for just the two of us.  Since we spend so much of our holidays traveling to see family (which we love doing) we have our meal a few days before Thanksgiving.   

Here is our feast-  I made herb roasted chicken breasts (no need for a turkey for just us), gravy, garlic and parmesan mashed potatoes, green bean bundles, apple and onion stuffing, and cranberry sauce.  We also had pumpkin bourbon cheesecake for dessert, but I didn't get a picture of that.

Over our break, we visited Pinehurst, Raleigh and Greensboro- whew!  We had Thanksgiving dinner in Pinehurst with Nick's parents and Nan and Pops.  Friday morning we were in Raleigh and woke up to this beautiful table set up for Nick's birthday.  And yes, it was as good as it looks!

Friday night we drove to Greensboro and enjoyed a relaxing weekend catching up with family and friends.   We loved being in NC and seeing everyone!  Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays- we have so much to be thankful for!
