step back....
into time.

 Thanksgiving was truly amazing this year.  we joined the markoff's for thanksgiving at the cottage, and let me tell you.... it was magnificent.  it truly was as if you were at the first thanksgiving.  the ambiance and setting was gorgeous.  mary and natalie worked so hard, and it really showed.  the table alone was breathtaking.  as you can all tell you had your choice to dress up as a pilgram or an indian and after lunch we partook in some friendly competitions.


jack, naomi, natalie

the nicols


the first part of the day naomi was so somber.... after lunch something switched and she was having a blast, there was NO denying it, she was passing out LOOOONG kisses, squeeling, laughing, she shouldn't have been cuter, and was so happy being outside and playing with everyone


poor little guy doesn't know he is going to be Christmas dinner...sad.

Ok, that is seriously cool! Somebody just decided to do this? That's awesome! If I tried I would get all done up as a pilgrim and everyone else would show up in jeans- guaranteed! :)
