There's something wonderful about Thanksgiving weekend. The chance to be with family, the good festive food, and gratitude and reminders of how blessed we are - which is a great way to begin the transition into the Christmas season.
For the first time this year, we had Thanksgiving at our house, just the 3 of us. We cooked a turkey and potatoes and pies and had a great time together. (And that turkey will continue to feed us through next week!) Thanksgiving Day was a beautiful day for a walk and to just be together.
Friday we put up and decorated our Christmas tree.
And we did all of our Christmas shopping, plus grocery shopping for the next couple of weeks. All on a very tight budget (thanks to those turkey leftovers, plus Grandpa A's potatoes and carrots).
The rest of the weekend allowed for plenty of time at home, for finishing our decorating, and for wrapping our presents.
And we continue to enjoy every magical moment.
