It always seems that the years go by faster as you get older.
The holidays get here before your even ready.
Even with a late thanksgiving this year, it still crept up!
(On me at least)
This year I am thankful for so much.
Personally and professionally,
I have experienced change and I have learned so much!
I hope that the leaps and bounds I have taken over these stepping stones
(I am antsy but glad) are getting me closer to the shore!
My family that has guided me,
shaped me and even drove me a little insane.
Truly blessed with a large family and knowing the meaning of love and patience through them!
My dear friends that know who I am and what I am about...
Even if we get caught up and don't see each other as often.
It can get hard as life happens but, knowing you are there makes it worthwhile.
My amazing other half
who reminds me everyday that I am always more okay then I think I am.
he supports me, loves me unconditionally and protects me from everything he can
(except shopping!).
I am so fortunate that my family has traditions for the holidays! And we tweak a little here and there butI love sharing it with new people that come to our table!
Here is a sneak peak of some of what I prepared for our table this year!
And, if you are in need of some hostess tips, please check out last years post (here)
Wishing you the happiest and yummiest of Thanksgivings with your loved ones!
centerpiece party
apple cupcakes (mid bake)
as i mentioned in last years post.
give your guests a name tag, it lets them know they were thought of during your planning!
we always do a little matchy matchy
