We hosted our first Thanksgiving at Chez Phillips for the Phillips and Sullivan clans! I was admittedly nervous since it was the first time I’d EVER cooked a turkey, let alone on Thanksgiving, but…. with the help of the internet, my mom, super helpful guests bringing all sorts of delicious side dishes and a trusty Excel spreadsheet (yes, I’m crazy but it works for us), things went off without a hitch!
The prep, from tables to beds to food, started early. I hate leaving things to the last minute and wanted to actually enjoy our family. Andy and Andrew even got in on the mix helping make breadcrumbs for stuffing. I’m pretty sure Andrew ate a piece of bread for everyone he tore up.
School placematsReady for cousins! 
Shockingly we were ready EARLY! So Andy and I snuck off to enjoy a quiet drink without kids and before the craze of the holiday weekend. I think it’s a tradition we should keep. 😉
And then the holiday fun began! 
We capped off our Thanksgiving weekend off with (a broken kitchen sink. ugh) and ride on the train to the park!
