For the past 5+ years, my close group of friends has thrown a "Friends Thanksgiving" party every year. Our group of friends is a hodgepodge of native Seattleites and transplants from other parts of the U.S., Canada, and England. Together we are kind of like our own little family. We celebrate birthdays, graduations, celebrations of all kinds together.
But Friends Thanksgiving is one event we plan and especially look forward to every year. This year we had a new location - our friends Vanessa & Nick bought a vacation cabin just outside of the Bavarian-inspired town Leavenworth - a 2-hour drive from Seattle, and generously offered it up to host Friends Thanksgiving, making it a weekend event. The 12 of us caravaned through the snowy pass to enjoy a cozy cabin weekend and feast together.
Our feast was monumental; everything from traditional turkey to jalapeno-corn casserole to my husband's famous "bacon explosion," and every Thanksgiving food you can think of in-between. Besides feasting, our weekend was peppered with snowy walks, cozying up in front of the fire, and plenty of games.
It was a blast! I love celebrating traditions with friends.
Do you have any traditions or events you celebrate with your friends every year?

ReplyDeleteLOVE Those socks...so cozy!
ReplyDeleteMost of our friends are transplants to the Seattle area and don't go home for Thanksgiving. So we all celebrate together. Thursday we'll be going out to Carnation for the feast!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like so much fun! I've always wanted to do something like this, but have always been away from home during the holiday. Definitely one year soon though! :) Sounds like your day will be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteThe cozy socks and warm fire photo is so cute! :)
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!!
