Thanksgiving

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving!

I heard a lady at a store yesterday…

(yes, Stacey and I braved black Friday again, but that is another post)

The lady at the store was describing her turkey disaster.

We purchased ours, so no drama at my house (this year) ;)

We did have a dog grab a turkey leg off the counter last year – lol!

We had a wonderful day with yummy food and lots of loved ones.

I truly have SO MUCH to be thankful for.

Giving Thanks Every Day

A couple of weeks back I suggested the idea of this November calendar specifically for listing things we are thankful for through the month of November.

I had
so
much
fun
making this one.

I hung it on the side of my frig along with some colored pencils in a little magnetic pencil holder so everyone in my house can add things as they think of them.

I am really looking forward to making this a new November tradition. I plan on simply sliding these calendars into an album to save and look back on in years to come!

If you want to see another one, Shanna posted a link so you can see hers in the forum and it is SUPER cute! Go check it out at the www.allaboutHim.cc forum under the topic Preparing for Thanksgiving/Giving Thanks Every Day.

Dressing Made Ahead – Check!

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Mom and I had a really fun time putting our Thanksgiving dressing together on Saturday.

It feels so great to know it is ready and in the freezer.

You can find the recipe on the forum under Harvest-Inspired Recipes.

Making our dressing is one of my favorite pre-holiday traditions because I get to spend time with my mom.

She is such a blessing to me.

If you have ever met her, you know exactly what I am talking about.

Christ shines through her so evidently – through her every word, action and smile.

She has the ability to immediately make you feel so very special and loved.

I just hope it’s hereditary!

Feels like fall around here

I shared on the forum that I love using mini pumpkins in my fall decorations.

Friday, I found them in the produce section of my grocery store.

I picked up a bag for $4.99!

My daughter and I had lots of finding fun spots around the house for these little pumpkins.

I also picked up 2 packages of fall printed napkins for our Thanksgiving table.

Printed napkins are an easy and inexpensive way to add some color and fun to your table.

The ones I chose have fall leaves, acorns and pumpkins on them.

I almost always use the napkins I find for my inspiration for the rest of the table decor.

It’s an easy jumping off point for me.

Happy Fall Everyone!
