Jonathan and I host another Sojourners Thanksgiving Meal this year!
Magnolia tree seeds were perfect for the occasion!
Luckily we have amazing friends who came over early to help make everything!
Not to mention coming over the night before to stay up all night making beautiful pies!
We used homemade pumpkin puree and it made such a difference! It was creamier and richer and I will be stocking my freezer with more pumpkin puree so I can make it all year long!
Cherry pie! We also had a french silk pie (unfortunately it was devoured before my camera got to say hello)
Deboning the turkey + butternut squash + swiss chard + other ingredients I cannot pronounce + roasting to perfection = the best turkey I've ever eaten.
Our friend from Grace & Peace is an MDiv student at Covenant and an epic chef on the side. He made the turkey this year and we all benefited greatly from his culinary expertise.
Our good friends Hal & Amy from G&P. (And also our prayer group leaders)
Elliott loved all the attention...
At the end of the night: it was one of those times where we wished we had a portable dishwasher. That last like a minute. We finished them all up before heading to bed!
Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving!
