Thanksgiving 2020

Here’s a recap of our Thanksgiving 2020, which was low key and relaxing with beautiful warm weather. Here’s what we ate and enjoyed all weekend.

this !

Thanksgiving 2020 was sunny and relaxing

Like many of you we didn’t get together in a big family group this year. We will see cousins, my parents, and extended fam when the time is right. 

We actually didn’t know what we were going to do until the day before the holiday, but the weather was so warm and sunny we did a nice little dinner with Thomas’s parents at their home outside.

I prepared cheese boards to-go in tupperwares for each of us. (Wish I’d had pretty holiday tins!)

Birchie played toys while we relaxed with happy hour.

T’s parents made the turkey, gravy, stuffing, rutabega mash and greens from their garden. We brought a dessert-level sweet potato casserole (seriously, it was TOO sweet!!) and cranberry sauce. And guess where the cranberry sauce was? In the fridge!!! We totally forgot to get it out, but don’t worry – I’m gobbling it up as leftovers! 

We also had homemade pumpkin pie for dessert with fresh whipped cream!


Special Dinner with Mazey

Mazen was with his dad and Katie this year for the weekend, so we had a special dinner the night before. 

He set the table!

And we had special Blue Apron steaks with mushroom sauce and greens. So delish!!


Black Friday

I woke up on Black Friday and thought it was Sunday! The weekend was long and luxurious. I spent a lot of it like this:

Breakfast

Chores!

Games

Lunch

Thanksgiving Dinner Round II!!!

It’s always just as good the next day, don’t you agree?!


Here’s how we spent the rest of the weekend!

Berry smoothies

Turkey crafts – 

My neighbor gave us some kits she had leftover from her kindergartner’s class, and they were a big hit.

Painting + PlayDoh

Lots of time outside! 

Careful dad…

LEGOS

Obligatory turkey + cran sandwich

Jingle Bells

First house in Cville to have lights up. (I kid). But I was a little embarrassed when Thomas put these up before Thanksgiving – lol! He loves Christmas.


Today’s the last day of the Beautycounter Holiday Sale

I’m looking at you procrastinators!! The entire site is 15% off for one more day (today) and will be over tomorrow. Get you somethin’ good! 

We also have a NEW set of our three best-selling shining star products for brighter skin: Counter+ Mini Skin Stars!

  • All Bright C Serum (AM)
  • The Overnight Resurfacing Peel (PM)
  • Brightening Face Oil (after night cream)

If you’ve never tried Beautycounter before, this set would be the perfect place to start!

How did you spend Thanksgiving 2020?

    What a fun weekend! Glad your weather cooperated!
    Helping with household tasks is so great for little ones, and Birch looks like he’s having a blast!! I just realized we’ve never gotten to see your laundry room! Are you lucky enough to have it on your main floor? I have to truck all the way to the basement and ugh, some days that’s just too far!

      It’s in the basement! Tight into a little corner, but it does the job : ) The best part is a sliding barn door to close it off!

    Do you mind sharing where the white storage cabinet (behind the salad ;-0) is from?

      It’s from Crate + Barrel circa 2007. Similar to this one.

    Definitely not the first house in Cville to have your lights up, even though it feels that way! I think everyone is feeling festive a bit early this year and our entire neighborhood in Crozet is all lit up and most have been for a week now.

    Would your mother-in-law be willing to share her rutabaga mash recipe? They’re definitely an underrated vegetable!

    And I’m also curious about the laundry room! 🙂 Any plans to move your laundry hookups into your fantastic new fitness room?

      Haha no then it would be a laundry room and not a fitness room 🙂
