Thanksgiving in Indiana

Snow-covered field with bare trees and a fence decorated with scarecrows in rural Indiana.

Hello friends! We just got back from Indiana where we spent the most picturesque Thanksgiving. Special thanks to my sister Kelly for pulling it off - four generations, seven casseroles and a full-on snow storm! Here are a few memorable scenes - or scroll all the way to the bottom for the best description of my childhood I could ever show you.

Men seated on sofas and chairs watching a football game in a cozy living room.

After the big Thanksgiving meal all the men went into the living room and watched football… 

… while the women stayed in the kitchen and took turns playing with the baby. xoxo

Two children on sleds in a snow-covered driveway with a rural landscape in the background.

Clayton got out his 4×4 and took everyone sledding. (There are no hills in Indiana!)

Several people sitting in an outdoor hot tub surrounded by snow, with one person stepping out onto the snowy ground.

Lucy’s idea! So awesome: snow + hot tub + twisted teas

Four people sitting closely together on a couch in a living room.

Cemetery at sunset with headstones in the foreground and bare trees along the horizon.

Daddy took me on his regular walk through the cemetery.

Hands turning pages of an old album filled with newspaper clippings.

Three people posing with sheep outdoors in a wooded setting.

I have no words.

The only hiccup: I woke up one morning with a terrible headache. But my mom took such good care of me that the memory of the headache now makes me smile… She sat on the couch next to me - patting my hand and telling me stories until my headache went away.  

Thanks so much for indulging me. I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!

xo, L
