For the last few weeks I have been helping a friend do some interior decorating projects: stripping tables so we can paint them, planning color schemes, working on sewing pretty things, etc. I'm pretty excited to see how things look when it's all done. It's been really fun helping this sweet person get organized and decorate her space.:)
Last week I hosted Thanksgiving. Twice. Two days In a row. --I'm still recuperating from all the busy-ness. It was fun baking new things though! The shopping and prepping began on Monday and the cooking and baking and more prepping started Tuesday and didn't end until Thursday afternoon. On Wednesday my parents and siblings came over and on Thursday my husband's family came over. We enjoyed the traditional turkey, hot rolls, mashed potatoes, stuffing and pumpkin pie. We also enjoyed new twists on old traditions on Wednesday with my mom's sweet potato souflee-yum! On Thursday we enjoyed a new, unexpected dish for Thanksgiving-nachos! My Sis in law's boyfriend brought nachos--super good idea!
I had fun with a few new things as well. I made a braided homemade loaf of bread--deelish and pretty:)
I also made a festive veggie tray that looked like a Turkey-thanks to Pinterest for the idea:)
On Friday I worked on cleaning house and putting away Fall decor and breaking out the Christmas decor.
On Saturday we took Elisha to see Rise of the Gaurdians. He really liked it. It was kind of cute. He thinks Jack Frost is pretty cool. Then Saturday night we baked and ate cookies, drank egg nog and watched Arthur Christmas while decorating the Christmas tree. Elisha LOVES putting ornaments on the tree--he had such a great time.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and good times with family and friends. I know I did and I have SOOO much to be thankful for!:)
