FRIENDSGIVING | 2017

Our third annual Friendsgiving was a success! We crammed 21 people in our dining room and Matthew's office and ate a ton of delicious food that everyone brought. Matthew found a hockey net and some hockey sticks a couple of weeks before Friendsgiving, so that was a pretty big hit with all the guys since they are all some pretty big hockey fans. After dinner there were football and the Pred's game to keep everyone entertained, and we ended up pulling out our big tree to setup. We had planned on decorating that night, but the games got a little crazy lol. As always this is a picture heavy post, so I'm going to get right to it.

We are so thankful for all of these friends and puppies!

I decided to go with navy gingham napkins and loved the way they looked with our gold chargers/plates. I clipped some eucalyptus to put on the plates for the final touch.


We used the same SnapChat filter as yesterday, I just changed the font to white and updated the year.


We ended up borrowing a folding table and benches from Matthew's parents, and it worked perfectly!


Hockey was fun and even some of us girls took turns "playing"...taking turns shooting.






So much food. Everyone brought multiple dishes and they were all so good!



Cousin pups at Friendsgiving!


Leftover containers for everyone. Best purchase for Friendsgiving and they came from Dollar Tree!

Getting the big tree up and all plugged in!

We love Friendsgiving and having everyone over!

FRIENDSGIVING INVITATION | 2017

It's that time of the year again, Friendsgiving is right around the corner and we are planning away. I have mentioned it before, but Friendsgiving is my favorite event to host every year. I'm still working on the tablescape for this year, but finished up this year's invitation a few weeks ago.

I have blocked out our address, for obvious reason, but here is the invitation for our third annual Friendsgiving!

The Facebook event has already been created and we are counting down the days until we can have all of our closest friends around our table enjoying a delicious meal....a month from today actually!! I'll mail these out in about a week or two, and since we always do potluck style, the food list will be going around soon.
