A slightly late Thanksgiving


Ok, Thanksgiving wasn’t late it’s the getting the photos up that’s late! 

We had a beautiful day with 2 other families at our house.  I was a bit hesitant to host with all the business we have in our lives right now but I’m so glad I did!  And then I got into holiday feel and went overboard.  We turned the playroom back into a dining room, rented a table and chairs and decorated like crazy for it.  Not to mention we got new counters on Tuesday, got the plumbing back on Wednesday and hosted on Thursday! 

Here’s what the room looked like when I started

The kids got the kitchen (when they weren’t hanging out in the basement enjoying our makeshift movie theater) and here they are all saying what they were thankful for.  Alice’s little friend listed many, many things but at the end she said, “And most of all I am thankful for Ali!”  Alice’s smile was priceless!

A perfect holiday and I am thankful for family, friends and a fun evening!
