Thank thank thankful

Thanksgiving. What can I say about it? Eric and I have so much to be thankful for--my job, his school, our home, marriage, family and friends, good health, our good looks...haha (not all in that order). But really, it's been a tough year, but we've never been short on blessings. 

We've made it a tradition here in Kansas to do Thanksgiving with Karrie and Austin each year. This year Ty, Randii, and their daughter Chloe joined us too! It's nice to be able to spend Thanksgiving with amazing friends when you aren't able to visit family. It was even nicer that we didn't host this year! :) We were able to sleep in and scan through ads rather than working our butts off first thing in the morning.
Happy about our relaxing day! 
Karrie and Austin hosted, so they got the lovely turkey duty!
Austin hard at work slicing the turkey.
Randii getting ready to make gravy!
 Eric decided that the mashed potatoes needed to be a little snazzier...
Exhibit A.
 And finally, with the help of everyone we had a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner! 
Karrie is so festive with her decor! I love it. 
It was a good day full of great food, laughs, and SHOPPING! That's right. Immediately after dinner Eric and I stopped at Michael's before heading home. We took advantage of the great "Black Thursday" sale by stocking up on Christmas decor. Eric always hated our Christmas decorations, but now we are both thrilled with the results!

We hope everyone had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
