We've all moved on to Christmas already, I know, but here is our Thanksgiving table. It was just the two of us, but we made a turkey and all the trimmings (including this warm Brussels sprout salad- so so good!).
I didn't set a terribly fancy table, but I did pull out some favorite vintage plates and our wedding silver. I've always said I'd be the gal to use her silver and crystal on a daily basis- why keep it stored away?- but as it turns out, it has become for special occasions. Maybe it'll be that way until I get a full enough set for every day!
With so much going on, I sometimes forget to focus on how much we do have. I'd like to resolve right now to focus on my blessings, instead of my hardships. A husband who is so good and works so hard, a sister who is my dearest friend, my precious parents and grandmother (with whom we Skyped all Thanksgiving Day!) and some of the best and most supportive girlfriends anyone could have. Harder to be grateful for are those who challenge me, but I am going to push myself to appreciate what they bring into my life and how much they cause me to grow and change.
The house has been turned into a Christmas wonderland and I'll share photos soon!

What a nice post, darling! Also, your table looks lovely! I can't wait to see the Christmas decorations!
Maybe it's because I have had an emotional day, but this post made me tear up. I love you the most, sister. xoxo
