Thanksgiving Portraits

This year we had Thanksgiving at my cousin's home just outside of DC. This was Chris & Kelly's first year hosting and they didn't shy away from the challenge, they served a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner to 17 people! The day was filled with busyness, at least for the ladies in attendance...most of the guys tended to the fire-pit and the tasty homemade wine that Chris' dad whips up every year from his own hobby vineyard. It was a beautiful day filled with laughter, sunshine, reconnecting, and a lot of teamwork to pull off a superb meal. I am already looking forward to Kelly's second Thanksgiving!
