My family gathered from all parts of the country to spend Thanksgiving with my very expectant daughter who lives a couple blocks away. The house was PERFECT for hosting a family gathering. Part of the family stayed in the house and part stayed with my daughter - but we did all the meals and entertaining at the house! The open kitchen made it perfect for lots of cooks, the paved patio/backyard even hosted a shrimp boil for all one night. The dining table had 3 leaves and easily seated 12. One family member from NYC is ready for us all to book another time to meet there. Joel & Lindsey made Thanksgiving special for all of us - THANK YOU!
