Thanksgiving with the McNamara's 2024

🍂✨ You're Invited to a Thanksgiving Celebration! ✨🍂

Join us for a laid-back, joyful Thanksgiving filled with food, friends, and good times! Whether you’re family, friends, or new faces, we’d love for you to join us for an afternoon of warmth, laughter, and gratitude.

The Plan

Morning Vibes:
We’ll kick things off by watching the Macy’s Day Parade together. Sean will get the fire going outside, and I’ll be in the kitchen cooking up a feast.

The Feast:
A table full of deliciousness awaits! We’ll have both indoor and outdoor seating for everyone to enjoy the meal, the football game, and the fun vibes.

Post-Feast Nap Time:
After we’re all so full we can barely move, we usually take a little post-feast nap around 1-3 PM. Feel free to relax in the living room or chill outside. It’s a perfect time to unwind, whether you’re in the mood to nap or just lounge.

The Rest of the Day:
Once we’re all rested and ready to go again, we’ll hang out, snack on leftovers, and enjoy each other’s company for the rest of the afternoon. Everyone is welcome to stick around for as long as they want!
