Gearing Up

Gearing up for the holiday season...Thanksgiving is on the way.  I happen to adore this holiday!  When I close my eyes and think about it, I picture smiles, good food, family recipes that have been cooked a million times.  I smell deep fried turkeys and Grandma's stuffing.

It is a special time.  For so many years Steve and his friends have gathered in this backyard.  We took a temporary break from this Newington house and hosted over in Wethersfield for a couple of years.

But we are back now, right where we belong.  Seeped in tradition...this day represents so much.

 

I decided to scrap the instagram photos I took from last year.  These are symbolic of the day...Steven in the lead role, turkey in hand, a bird ready to come out and a group of good friends.  Doesn't get much simplier than that!

 

The story recorded. A big, long title...one of my favorite things on any page!

 

I used Lily Bee's Autumn Spice on this layout.  Love this collection for fall.
