Each year my friends and I get together to have “Friendsgiving” dinner the weekend before Thanksgiving. Okay, this is only the second year we’ve done it, but it is now tradition, and if I have any say we’ll continue this tradition annually. I have compiled photos of our menu to give you a little inspiration for your Thanksgiving table.
My closest friends are my family. We have been together through our awkward teenage years, marriages, births, divorces, losses, deaths. We’ve seen each other through life’s ups and downs, and I know we have more to suffer and conquer together. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to call friends. I love them. They are a part of who I am and I am incredibly thankful for the prints they have each left on my life, on my being. Whatever you do this holiday season, I hope you get to spend your days surrounded by those you love the most.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Fun night with great food and wonderful friends! I’m so thankful to have you in my life! And so happy we have these traditions!
I love that we are forming traditions as a friend family. 🙂 We just need to remember to take more photos of the people at these gatherings!
Aww. Very sweet. And I’m very thankful for you and all of our friends!
Thank you! 🙂
EVERYTHING looks yummy! That apricot glazed ham especially!
Thanks, Lacy Jo! Apricot-glazed is the only way I will eat ham.
Everything came out so nice! A note to all of your readers: if you are questioning the amount of jiggle in your cheesecake, go with less jiggle.
Haha good tip, Jenn!
