Being in Georgia means that we don't get to be around our family a lot during holidays. So far we've only been home for Christmas. Luckily we have wonderful friends here, and we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with one of the families that we definitely love. Even though Thanksgiving isn't totally their holiday :) The Bassett's moved to Georgia from South Africa a year ago (at the time) and it was great to share the Thanksgiving meal with them. Jann cooked a ton of awesome food, including a fantastic turkey and the traditional string beans and crispy onions. It was fun to be with friends for sure! Joe and I provided a few items, like sparkling cider and vanilla sodas (Joe's specialty). We also brought some pre-feast snacks of pull apart bread! Unfortunately, I didn't get any shots of all of stuffing our faces!
that's bacon that has been cooking on the turkey!
Later that night Joe and I thought it would be fun to have a pie social. We invited our friends over to eat some of our pies. Unfortunately, we didn't factor in the fact that most people would be spending the day with their families :) Luckily, Bill and Emily came over with their cute girls, and even brought Bill's dad and step-mom. It was fun to take it easy, eat some treats, and check out the Black Friday ads. Alice totally got into it!
apple, pumpkin, pecan, and little pumpkin pies!
It was a great holiday, full of fun and friends and good food!
