Happy Thanksgiving: What Are You Grateful For This Year?

Happy Thanksgiving, friends!! Well, it’s technically not Thanksgiving yet, but today is officially my Friday!!! And let me tell you, I couldn’t be more excited!!! My mom is off for FIVE whole days, so as usual, my work schedule is following hers.

Plus, our neighbors are putting up their outdoor Christmas decorations and now all I can think about is setting up a huge lawn display with an inflatable Santa and reindeer — sadly, I doubt my mom or Janelle will go for that plan, but it could be quite the adventure, don’t you think?

What are you doing for the holiday this year? We’ll be staying close to home, but that doesn’t mean our days will be boring! Nope! The opposite is true, actually. Here’s a snapshot of our plans, in no particular order because they’re ALL important…

• Eat delicious food

• Go on a classic Target trip to buy Taylor’s new album — can’t believe I don’t have it yet!!

• Binge-watch season two of Stranger Things

• Play lots and lots of Yahtzee and Bananagrams, which I’ll most likely lose!

• Read magazines that have been piling up for months

This year, I’m so grateful to be spending this quality time with my family — and of course, Harry and Stella!! The year has been flying by way too fast, and I just want to slow down. Even if it’s only for five days, you know?

I’d love to hear some of the things you’re thankful for this year, friends!!! Obviously, family is a huge one for me! I know I’ve said this before, but I really don’t know what I’d do without my family. My mom and sister mean the world to me, and they are my two favorite people on the entire planet! Not sure how I ever got so lucky, but I did.

Hope you all have a marvelous holiday and are surrounded by the ones you love most! Oh, and be sure to eat lots of good food and take time to rest and recharge! I’ll see you all back here next Monday, but be sure to follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram! You know I’ll be chronicling my long-weekend adventures!! See you there, friends! xoxo
