Thanksgiving is so very late this year! I love Thanksgiving and look forward to it every year. This year especially because all of my kiddos will be home for a few days before it's time to head back to school. It's such a special day starting with my favorite thing to watch first thing in the morning, The Macy's Parade followed by spending the day cooking, baking, and preparing the table for a the best kind of homemade family dinner. It seems kind of nuts to spend so many hours preparing something that gets eaten in a matter of minutes, but I think that is what is so special about Thanksgiving. It is a once a year kind of thing that we love to go kind of nuts about!
This is one of the few days that we actually use our dining room, which makes me sad because it's one of my favorite rooms in the house! My baby girl is in charge of setting the table and she usually comes up with a super creative and time consuming way to fold the napkins via Google, which is crazy, but she loves to do it. I like to make my own flower arrangement and table scape, and switch it up a bit every year.
Two years ago I used a mix of greens with yellow flowers
Last year I went more autumnal using different colors…
Pinterest has a ton of adorable ideas for tables…
Thanks giving outdoors?
With blankets? I love it!
The most perfect day...
I'm with you, and Maureen. It's my favorite Holiday and starting the day with the Macy's Parade is a MUST in our home as well.
