Halloween hasn't even passed yet and I'm already getting excited for Thanksgiving! Last year we were able to go home for Thanksgiving but stayed home for Christmas because we had just moved into our house. This year it will be different, we will have our 1st Thanksgiving in our new home.
It won't just be us, we will be celebrating with our friends Britt and Shane. We have also opened the invitation to anyone in Kyle's company that have nowhere else to go.
I am excited to cook for more people this year. I am already making plans for 4 kinds of mini pies, they are much more fun to make and easier to eat. I will probably go all out and make a beautiful tablescape, as long as Kyle gets to watch football he could care less what I do haha.
I love these ideas!! :)
Do you have any special plans for Thanksgiving this year?
can't wait to see what you do! last year we did double thanksgiving--at friends' and at home--but this year i think we're just keeping it low-key.
ReplyDeleteWe do Thanksgiving "military life style" by going out to dinner with friends at Fogo de Chao. :)
ReplyDeleteI seriously cannot believe the October is almost over and November is about to begin! Where did the time go?!?!!
ReplyDeleteWe're not sure what we're doing this year. We usually have Thanksgiving with my sister's family but they moved so we may celebrate just the three of us or we may drive the few hours to my brother's house.
ReplyDeleteI will be on a cruise boat on vacation for Thanksgiving! LOL I am so excited.
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is always at my parents and then we do Christmas dinner at our house! I love traditions!
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is always low-key at my house because my mom has to work Thanksgiving day, which is fine by me. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving because 2 weeks later I graduate college!
ReplyDeleteI love Thanksgiving! I'm hoping I might be able to spend it with John and his family this year.
ReplyDeleteThe in laws get us this year and I think they are excited to have a house full of people.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for Thanksgiving too!!!! I love family and friends and just the good feelings that flow at that time of year. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe usually go to this cousins for the holidays since we are lucky enough to have family so close by.
ReplyDeleteI'm already planning for Thanksgiving as well, at least on the guest list. It's so kind of you to open your house to others who would spend the day by themselves otherwise. Love the spreads, maybe I'll pick up some suggestions this year as well if I find the time..
ReplyDeleteI've started pinning Thanksgiving stuff even though we don't get to host it. It's one of my favorite holidays! My sister was married to a marine for 10 yrs and a few of the years that they were in North Carolina they invited guys that didn't have a place to go and they ended up having about 32 people one year! It's really nice of you to do that.
ReplyDeleteWe will be hosting single sailors again this year. Of course, "we" is a relative term since there is no guarantee Lt will be here. (ツ)_/¯
ReplyDeleteWe're hosting Thanksgiving because Mac graduates the day before. What sort of mini pies are you making? I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I can't wait to host my first Thanksgiving. This year I'll be going to my parents because my husband will be overseas. Last year, I flew to Huachuca because the husband was doing training! I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for next year!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you flew to Huachuca last year for Thanksgiving, we were living there during that time. :)
DeleteThey're all so great! Usually we have Thanksgiving at the in-laws with lots of food and good conversation.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh your miss homemaker arnt ya! haha. Last year was my 2nd year hosting and I did much better then the first year! Paul takes care of the turkey but I had a blast making all the sides and deserts! My big desert that I LOVE is Paula Deans Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Cake, oh my lordy its to die for! This year I think only one person is coming, and so it will be fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you come up with! I'm hoping someone invites us over this year. Lol I won't have much to cook with.
