Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year. What could be better than a day dedicated to giving thanks over food and football? Not much in my book.
Since we will be traveling for the holiday, we had a pre-Thanksgiving dinner yesterday with some friends. Very nice day. I am on the third load of dishes with the fourth in the sink waiting since I must use every dish in the house when I make a big meal. The kids are off and it is a freezing cold day so we're huddled around the dishwasher and washing machine in our sweatshirts with hot tea and leftovers.
A perfect Monday if you ask me.

It's always perfect when you get to stay home - instead of the regular "routine"! (even if you have to do dishes, and I have to clean house!) We love those days! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Freezing cold, huh? Think of G & I, we woke to 28* temperature this morning--we needed more than a dishwasher to huddle around to keep warm.
Happy Turkey Day! We all have much to be thankful for.
