Thanksgiving Review

I had an amazing Thanksgiving surrounded by family, full of love, with lots of food and game-playing.

   The decorations were simple but sweet.  My parent’s house is already filled with really warm and happy fall colors, so a little Thanksgiving decorating goes a long way.  Delicious pinwheels that will now be a staple for every Thanksgiving for years to come. This isn’t even a Thanksgiving decoration, but I love how elegant this wine bottle turned candle holder is.    See?  The decorations already fit in with Thanksgiving.

Turkey, cranberry sauce, corn with peppers, mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, applesauce, dinner rolls, and squash.  There was pumpkin pie, but I was too full to lift my camera at that point.                

There were games, specifically Ticket To Ride, which you should buy if you love games.  We play this at every holiday gathering and never get sick of it.

And lastly, there was lounging.  Stewart sure had a long day.  Oh to be a dog with no responsibilities where every day is Thanksgiving!

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!  It always goes by so fast, but that’s just life, I guess.  I’m excited for a few more days with my family and much more holiday cheer to come in the next month.  December packs a lot in for me.  Besides school, Christmas, and New Year’s, I have San’s birthday and our four year anniversary!  So much to look forward to and a lot to be thankful for even when it’s not Thanksgiving.  Have a great weekend, everyone!
