Post Thanksgiving Morning

Good Morning

Another successful Thanksgiving filled with family, friends, good food, and good times. 

I'm in low gear this morning.

Caveman has already headed up to the mountains, with his brothers, to cut firewood. 

Us girls...we have a shopping trip planned later today.  

We'll be heading downtown a little later on, nothing big, just fun local shopping.

We are not ones who brave the early bird crowd and shop. 

The sun is brilliant this morning, and even though the temperatures will be cool, it will be a lovely Fall day for strolling the street(s) in town. 

We'll feast on left overs this afternoon, and enjoy this precious time together.

Getting Ready For Thanksgiving

This week has been a busy one for sure. 

I love the time leading up to Thanksgiving. 

I've spent the past few days putting some TLC into my home,

cleaning, rearranging, and adding some final Holiday touches here and there.

My sister and little boys are staying here visiting for the entire week. 

We've been scheming crafting and decorating ideas together.
Today we all went to Kristina's to set up Harper's Nursery.
Tomorrow there will be pie baking.

♥ Happy Thanksgiving ♥
