First Thanksgiving, First Dinner Party

After years (years!) of renovations on their home, Tasha and Shannon finished a new dining room, bathroom and living room at their home, which we affectionately refer to as Stump Lane. To celebrate, they threw their very first dinner party. And what more appropriate time then Thanksgiving, when we Americans celebrate our very first dinner party, too.

Their stunning new dining room:
