November & December: Thankful at Thanksgiving and Grateful at Christmas!!!

November brings with it a time to pause and be thankful before the hustle and bustle of Christmas in December is officially upon us!  We hosted our families at our home again this Thanksgiving and we are so thankful for the love that engulfed our table as we enjoyed amazing food and even better company!  We started decorating the house for Christmas as soon as we could in preparation and we didn't stop there!  My big Fall Gala fundraiser at school, a Justin Timberlake concert with girlfriends, visiting with Santa, Kinsley's Christmas concert at school, the annual and much-anticipated arrival of "Chippy" the Elf once the tree is up, visiting with Santa, the year with NEW BIKE'S under the tree, Gingerbread houses...you name it.  We LOVE this time of year!!!
