Team Hollowell: Thanksgiving 2015 in Rogers

The day before Thanksgiving, I taught class then shopped around Fayetteville a bit. Tripp met me for lunch at Hammontrees. YUM. Sat at the bar and enjoyed soup + grilled cheese with my boo. We went to Underwoods after to look at some goodies so that's always fun :)

We hosted Thanksgiving again this year. Because the holiday had a Razorback game the weekend before and the weekend after, both of our families were in town. We had everyone who was in town come over.

We asked everyone to come over at 3pm with plans to eat an early dinner. Ms. Maas made a few appetizers that were delicious! I always try to claim I make them but everyone knows better ;)

I did "make" this! Blue cheese, honey and pear on bread - yes please!

The appetizer spread - shrimp stuffed with gouda + prosciutto and stuffed dates!

The dining room and tables where we ate. I tried not to go overboard or let myself get stressed this year. I did a lot of the setup the night before and the morning of.

I wanted everyone to be in the same room-ish, so we setup a card table close to the big table in the foyer.

My mom had cookies made that we used as place cards - so cute!

Pudd, Gdaddy, MA and Jay got me a set of Fall salad plates for my birthday so I used those - love them!

We served Apple Cider Mimosas with appetizers (and the usual cocktails) - swap the OJ for Apple Cider and it's fall bubbly :)

Mary Ann made homemade dog treats and Reggie was all over it!

Let's eattt!

The crew - we're so thankful that both Tripp and I's families can be in one roo and enjoy a holiday together.

After dinner, MA asked everyone to write what they were thankful for this year and then she read them all aloud. My boo and I were on the same page - DUH :)
