This was our first Thanksgiving as a married couple! First time hosting as a married couple too!! What fun!!
Here's a quick recap with pictures.
My centerpieces. Like I've said before I like realistic centerpieces for holiday tables so there is actually room to place food on the table and see the person across the table.

As for the champagne toast. We didn't do bubbles but we did drink wine and went around the table to say what we were thankful for. To be honest..I realized I didn't have enough flutes and scratched the bubbles idea.
While we ate Buddy ate his Thanksgiving too.
