Thanksgiving!

Hello lovelies!! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! It was so nice to have a couple days off of work and to get to spend time with all the people I love the most!





I love how there are touches of Christmas appearing everywhere. My grandparent's house ( above photos) always looks the cutest with all of it's holiday decor.

 I filled up on so many yummy dishes. I am a huge sucker for sweet potatoes.


brother. sister. father. :)

My niece and nephew are the cutest! We decided to go out and play football since it was super nice out! I can't remember the last Thanksgiving that had 60 degree weather!
the pond behind my grandparents house always looks so serene and pretty.

this cute little sign was in the theater parking lot on my grandparents street

Then later at my mom's house, we all had fun playing some family games together. Clue, Life, Scrabble. The best.




Black Friday was a success as wel! My mom, sister, and I ventured out to Target around 6 am, and it wasn't even that crazy out.
I scored some awesome stuff online too. Red Velvet had all of their dresses 50 percent off, so I picked up a couple of those!

Next up, Christmas! Can't wait! I have been in a decorating frenzy around the house. I love this time of year!!

xo!

Thankful!



After seeing the lovely Danielle of  Sometimes Sweet put up a thankful list, I thought I would do the same! Tis the season..

Tom
I feel so lucky to be able to spend my days with this bearded sweetie. He is the kindest man I have ever known and everyday I find myself stepping back and thinking to myself "Wow. How did I get so lucky?"
He is the best. It is a great feeling to know that I have truly found my other half.

My mother, sister, Granny
These three women are the most amazing people in the world. I cannot imagine my life without them. They have all had such a significant impact on my life and the way I live. My feelings are seriously indescribable. This is why I have a tattoo on my forearm dedicated to them! I have all three's favorite flowers, and my mother's maiden name Seusy. So they are with me always!

Oscar
My little baby pumpkin pie! My sweet, sweet little munchkin! He brings me SO much joy every single day! And he is the cuddliest little pup you ever did see. Plus, his paws smell amazing. It is my favorite smell in the world. Yes, I'm weird. He is just the best doggie ever.

My Job
In this day and age, I feel blessed to have a steady job/paycheck. I feel lucky to be able to work with such a great group of people and to have the best clients ever! I really just enjoy what I do for a living, and I don't ever take it for granted. I love going to work every day and I know many people that don't so I am very thankful!

Cardigans
Seriously

Family History
I am so thankful to call so many of the best people in the world my family! My mother's mother (my granny) grew up in Naples, Italy until she married my grandfather and moved to the United States. From a very young age, my Granny has told me so many amazing stories and taught me so many amazing things. She lives life to the fullest and enjoys every single breath. I still have family over there, too! When I was thirteen I got to go with her to visit her family home and old stomping grounds and the experience was unforgettable. I hope to someday go back when Tom and I get married so that we can share the rewarding experience of it all!

Everything I didn't mention
Cranberry Limeades from Sonic. Grilled cheeses. Boots. Tights. Sour Patch Watermelon candies. Nirvana. Red hair. Bangs. Fireplaces.Comfy sweaters. Warm blankets. Christmas lights. My Ipad. Recycling. Old photos. Pumpkin anything. Baby lotion. Healthy friends and family. Quinoa. Buying local. Books. Harry Potter.so much more!

And I am so thankful for all of you! Anyone who takes time out of their day to pay my little blog a visit! You seriously don't know how much joy you bring me with your comments and well wishes! It makes my day so much brighter! SO I thank you, dear readers.

I hope you all have an amazing Thanksgiving!

xo!
