the homespun heart: Family Night: Harvest Party!

Technically this was not a Family Night activity at our house - but I think it would make a great Family Night so I am sharing it here! There is so much variety you can do with a Harvest Party! It can be just you and your own children bobbing for apples and doing a sack race, or it could be with close friends and larger scale.

I know I have shared about how much we love being part of Classical Conversations {frequently referred to around here as CC!} and as we entered our third year, God provided an opportunity for me to start a group closer to home. Thus, we are in a new group this year, I am finding my way in a new experience and it has really and truly been blessed of God and such a blessing to us! We have made sweet new friends and have found a beautiful community that God orchestrated.

As I was working on the calendar for the year, I realized we would be gone all of December and wanted to figure out a way to do a party in lieu of a Christmas party. It seemed a natural choice to continue the Harvest party tradition and let that be our big seasonal party! One sweet mom in our group gifted me with taking the planning over and what a blessing to have her show up and set it all up - wow, the gift of beauty in such sweet form.

Here are a few favorite scenes from our fun {and wonderfully chilly!} morning together. Photos are a mix of beautifully edited pix from my sweet and talented friend Jen and mine are {as usual} straight-outta-the-camera:

We are definitely grateful for these dear friends and what a joy filled my heart at having them all in our little place where we do life daily. And, I think it is safe to say as we move into celebrating Christmas that we have enjoyed this Fall to the FULL! So thankful and so blessed.
