giving thanks

It probably wasn't the best idea to take photos after dinner but I'm just proud of myself for cranking a few shots out before slipping into sweatpants and slippers.  To say that Ben's family takes the holiday seriously is an understatement; Thanksgiving dinner is seen as a challenge to be taken on with whole-heart and empty-stomach.  We ate at the Mt. Vernon Country Club again this year and I'm not ashamed to say that I took full advantage of the gourmet buffet.

I packed a suitcase full of warm fall colors for the trip (cognac boots and belts, rust orange sweaters and socks, deep purples and browns, leopard prints and olive green accents) and I put together some great outfits but these are really the only OOTD shots from the trip.  This year I left the camera in my bag most of the time and actually enjoyed my surroundings with the naked eye instead of through the lens.  I recommend trying it sometime; it's nice to live in the moment.

Hope your Thanksgiving Day (or just plain "last Thursday" for international readers) was pleasant and fulfilling.

I know not this "naked eye" of which you speak. Is that a special kind of lens?

Seriously though, you captured the Thanksgiving spirit with your pretty smile and lovely colors. I'm glad you had a wonderful holiday.
