Our Thanksgiving

 photo IMG_3670copy.jpgWe had a fabulous (and white!) Thanksgiving up at my mom’s lake cottage. There was the perfect amount of snow….just enough to make everything pretty! Hudson is pretty obsessed with snow. And reindeer….but more on that later.
 photo IMG_3631.jpgMy mom’s Thanksgiving table looked cute as always!
 photo IMG_3639.jpgI helped decorate of course.
 photo IMG_3644.jpgTurkey turkey! This guy held our cranberry sauce which I tried for the first time ever and loved! Who knew? 
 photo IMG_3650copy.jpgHudson totally loved his first Thanksgiving feast!
 photo IMG_3651.jpgThis boy went to town! His favorite was the green beans followed closely by the mashed potatoes. 
Scratch that. Pumpkin pie and whipped cream were his favorite!
 photo IMG_3735copy.jpgThe next day instead of Black Friday shopping we decided to pay a visit to the reindeer farm! Hudson is officially obsessed with reindeer! Here he is with Noel….she was super sweet. 
 photo IMG_3738copy.jpgHe wanted to climb in the cage with her….and not gonna lie, so did I.

And we also saw a Christmas Alpaca. Because apparently Santa doesn’t discriminate.
 photo IMG_3786copy.jpgThere were several reindeer outside too. It was like we were at the North Pole! I think we counted about 6 outside plus the two inside…..the others were off at special events and visits around town.

I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving! I think this was my most favorite day ever. Everything is SO much fun when you have a little one to share it with!

    Loving that Hudson got to partake in Thanksgiving this year with his own mini feast. Complete with the pumpkin pie, of course:) And seriously? Those reindeer? That snow? How perfect! He is going to have such sweet memories of these fun outings over the years. So lovely!
