Our Thanksgiving Tradition

Every year for Thanksgiving we go to my Mom and Dad’s house for Thanksgiving!

There is a lot of people there and even more food!!

I just want to share some photos of our day with you.

My Mom made an excellent salad.

My favorite Apple Salad.  I pigged out of this one, hehe.

She sets up a table in the garage for all the food.

We played games.

Here is a picture of our family.

My Mom always had everything decorated so nice and festive.

We spent some time with my Grandparents too!

Then we went to my husband’s family party.

They also love to decorate.  Isn’t everything so cute?

I love the centerpiece!

They had everything personalized.

They made each little turkey.

Lastly, here is my big boy helping himself, lol.

We had a great day!  Today we spent the day together and we also went through some of the kids books, games and puzzles to give it away.

I will show you pics on that soon.

What is your family’s Thanksgiving tradition?

What did you do today?  Did you go out shopping?  What did you get?

Have a great day!

Our Fall Tablescape {repost}

Good morning everyone!  Today, I am back with my fall tablescape!  I really liked how it turned out and I used it as my inspiration for my new fall header.

I LOVE decorating my tables.  So does my daughter!  I just say, “Grace, do you want to help me decorate?” and she comes yelling, “YEEESSSS!”  She is totally a little me, lol!  LOVE IT!

We decided to do a very simple and nature looking tablescape today.

She helped my with the pinecones.

I just love the simplicity of it!

I also love these dishes.  I bought this set at a garage sale for only $15.

The kids loved smelling the cinnamon sticks with me.

My baby wanted to throw the pinecones, lol!

That’s ok with me as long as it is not a plate.

I am really enjoying the straight lines of the plates and bowls.

The centerpiece is also nature inspired.

I used more cinnamon sticks, pinecones and acorns.

I just placed everything into a rectangle platter along with this arrangement.

I think they go well together.

Here’s another view.

And another.

OK, last one!  I promise.

So, there is my simple, nature-looking talblescape.

This is not too fancy.  Just simple and fun!

What do you use on your tables?

Have a great day!
