Stories Collected While Living in France
The helpers in the kitchen on Thanksgiving day.
Homeland outside my mom's front door.
My mother's traditional turkey cookies.
That always adorn the dinner plate.
Note the oval ironstone platters my mom uses for dishes.
Homemade pies:
Blackberry
Pumpkin
Chocolate
and
Coconut cream.
Wonderful!
What a beautiful day, beautiful family.
Fabulous family memory making moments to last a lifetime.
I am so glad you made it back to see your family in the USA.
Love to you all and many blessings
So much joy on the faces of your beautiful Willows family as they gather at your mother’s home, help prepare a feast and celebrate Thanksgiving together. It reminds me of what I saw on their faces as they gathered in France and celebrated Chelsea’s and Martin’s wedding/s last summer. I’m so glad that you and Yann were able to be with them this Thanksgiving.💜
I love Thanksgiving at your moms! 🙂 I have looked forward to your stories and photos every year since I started reading your blog. The oval ironstone platters are GENIUS! Her home looks so cozy and warm. I hope you are able to see Sasha while you are there. Oh Corey, I can see that the apple fell very close to the tree. Such attention to detail, both with decor and with stretching one’s heart to cover the whole family. Next giveaway…one of your mom’s pies, please.
You know there will be a lot of food when platters/not dinner plates are used. I especially love the photo of your mother standing by the Thanksgiving table.
I’ll have the coconut cream please. Although the crust on that blackberry is perfection! Love the decorations, your mom has real style.
Glad to see you got to be there with the famdamily! Your mom’s home looks so warm and inviting, and those cookies! She really goes the extra mile, your ma. -Kate
Wonderful photos. Glad for you that you are home for a bit.
Those girls, your mom, that house, that food! I had Thanksgiving vicariously through your wonderful photos! And if I lived closer, I would have wandered in and asked for “refuge from the storm” whether there was a storm or not!!!!

What beautiful pictures of your family time – making more cherished memories! ❤️ And I love your mom’s tradition of the turkey cookie on every plate – and how smart to use platters!! Love it! So happy for you that you were able to be there!
What a beautiful home! What a wonderful family! Thank you for sharing! God Bless!!
Your family is building so many memories along with the growth of the nieces and nephews. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful family. Oh I love your mom’s turkey cookies and platters for dishes.
The most beautiful of homes. Your mother looks fabulous! Hooray!
Your mother’s table is my favorite out of all the tables I have seen decorated this year. I’m recreating those turkey cookies for my table next year. Love that idea… Also, I want to be your mom when I grow up. Your family reminds me so much of my big family. You can see the love oozing from the pics. Happy Holidays…
