ThAnkful...

I'm playing a little catch up here today in hopes of getting the Holiday Tour up this week. I don't feel quite right posting photos of the Christmas tree when I still have Thanksgiving photos staring at me in my camera. Thanksgiving this year snuck up on me in a hurry. We had only been in our Tudor for 3 weeks and I wanted to host the feast. Yeah, you know, make it beautiful despite the boxes everywhere! Ha! 

I found a banner I had purchased at World Market and hung it up on our mantle right away. And can I tell you how hard I laughed when I got it put up...? Someone in charge of the "a"s in the factory must have taken a coffee break when my banner came down the line. Haha! Oh well, I'm still thAnkful anyway, and frankly it reminds me that I truly am a little less Martha than I want to admit. 

After having a few last minute furniture purchases delivered, like CHAIRS, we cleaned the Tudor top to bottom and cooked for two days. I must say it was my most successful Thanksgiving feast to date! The DH was an integral part of the success. He brines a fabulous turkey ladies! And knows just when I need a hug and when to stir the gravy. My new favorite dish was a tie between the Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole, and Mom's Secret Gravy recipe. Both are on my Pinterest page under Thanksgiving. 

So while I am thankful for the family in our little Tudor home, I have to point out how Thankful our pups are for the squirrels they have discovered in the back yard! Look at this sweet boy. So patient. 

I am Thankful for the home we are creating in our little two door Tudor.
