Well, my brother arrived Monday night and my parents are arriving later today. The boys are all out right now, and I just took a pecan pie out of the oven. I am enjoying the little bit of silence, but looking forward to the house being filled with family soon. I know 6 people isn't a large crowd, but it's easy to cook for and and fit in our house. :) I have really enjoyed preparing for this Thanksgiving and am looking forward to doing some more cooking tonight and tomorrow. I don't know what has gotten into me, but I have become much more domestic in the last 6 months or so. I've even become getting into some crafting....COMPLETELY unlike me! Here is my newest creation:
I got this idea off of one of my new favorite blogs: The Crafting Chicks. They actually have some crafts that don't scare me away immediately. I bought a 2x6 and Mat was nice enough to saw it into the blocks for me. Then, I painted them, applied some scrapbook paper, cut out some letters, and tied them up with ribbon! They fit perfectly right into my windowsill.
I have so much to be thankful for this year! I hope that you all have a wonderful, safe, and healthy Thanksgiving this year. Count your many blessings!
