So it has been a while since I posted, luckily not too long. For some reason I can't get my blog to show up in Google Chrome. It just sits at a blank page. Hmmmm... So I had to pull it up in Firefox.
So Thanksgiving was last week and we had a wonderful time. It was a pretty small group since most of the family was either out of town or with their in laws. It was still a lot of fun and such a nice cozy dinner, just my Mom, Dad, my brother Derek, his two boys, Miss Violet, and me.
This year Miss Violet and I decided to make some decorations for the Dinner table. Though I don't have any photos it's was pretty simple. We had some pretty paper chain garlands of rich fall colors that were laid over the table along with turkeys made out of toilet paper rolls covered in brown paper and all sorts of fun scrapbook paper prints for the feathers.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's such a loving day. The food is so amazing and for us there is a lot of it that we don't have any other day of the year. What I think makes Thanksgiving really special for me though is that it kicks off the Christmas season. I am of the opinion that Christmas in any form (decorations, music, movies, egg nog, etc.) has no place until Thanksgiving is over. So on Thanksgiving night some of the family will get together and drink our first egg nog of the season while watching National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. We've been doing it every year since I was born so it's a tradition that I have ingrained in me.
So even though it is very late I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope that we all remember how truly lucky we are over the next year.
Cheers! ♥
