This day before Thanksgiving I'm . . .
. . . making sweet potato casserole. The best Thanksgiving dish ever. At least I kind of think so.
. . . making deviled eggs too. With paprika. Because it's just not pretty without paprika.
. . . hoping Derek and I can resist the temptation to eat aforementioned Thanksgiving Day fare before tomorrow.
. . . cleaning my messy house, or at least attempting to, because I have this thing about my house being clean on holidays.
. . . filing away the last of the photos from Wyatt's first year in a photo album - and maybe I'll get a start on his second year.
. . . starting a project for Baby Girl's room to organize the headbands I plan to buy and/or make her.
. . . thinking it might be a good day to try to watch our childbirth video with Derek as a review.
. . . forming my Black Friday game plan. Which includes buying a new vacuum since ours broke.
. . . thinking it's pretty cool that our church does a Thanksgiving Day service, and wondering if we can go tomorrow if we strategize.
. . . planning for the weekend, when we get out our Christmas decorations.
And this day before Thanksgiving I'm thinking how thankful I am that . . .
. . . sweet potatoes and eggs exist, and we are blessed to be able to afford them.
. . . I have a wonderful husband to swat away from the food.
. . . we have a roof over our heads (and over our messiness).
. . . we've been blessed with our precious son for almost two years now, and for all the memories in the photos.
. . . I have a Baby Girl to buy headbands for, and decorate a nursery for, and dream about.
. . . this pregnancy has been so healthy and uneventful so far, and that my family is healthy.
. . . my vacuum broke right before Black Friday. Could I ask for better timing? I think not!
. . . we live in a country where we are free to gather and worship God as we please.
. . . the reason we decorate for Christmas in the first place is because we're celebrating the fact that God became a baby, Who grew into a man, Who died on the cross to pay for our sins, and Who rose to life again. Who is coming again someday.
Today I'm reminded of everything I've been given, and I thank God for it. And I thank Him for who He is. Because He is good.
Have. Great Thanksgiving Callie and family!
beautiful post! i hope you and your family has the happiest of thanksgivings!!
I have the same "thing" about my house being clean for holidays, even though we won't be home for most of the day. Too bad those toddler boys aren't on the same page.
Hope you guys have a perfect Thanksgiving!!
Happy Thanksgiving! Have you checked Kohls online? Try launched their Black Friday ad and I think they have a good deal on a Dyson. Plus free shipping, $15 Kohls cash for every $50 you spend and use code BLACKFRI for another 15% off. Just thought you might wanna check :)
Loved this! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and great weekend!
Oooh I bought/was given a bunch of ribbon, felt, and fabric scraps to make headbands and now I'm overwhelmed and don't know where to start. How are you storing them? How do you plan on making them?
So thankful this year - have a great Thanksgiving!!
