We had a two-day Thanksgiving holiday. My parents arrived here in town a bit earlier than originally planned so my dad could help my sister Renee finish the tiling of her kitchen backsplash. So yesterday we made and ate a “somewhat” holiday meal…stuffing, potatoes, salad, steamed vegetables, pumpkin pie, and grilled chicken (not turkey as I’m not a fan).

Cheers to the grillers who faired the chilly weather.

And cheers to Luke and Katie for decorating our Christmas tree the day before!

Then this evening we gathered with my sister’s family at their house for our traditional TURKEY meal. We missed those in my brother’s family because many of them were feeling ill. But we were grateful that the rest of us were able to be together.

The adult table…

The “kids” table…Hahaha! These kids are growing up way too fast.

Plus Renee’s tiling was complete and looked so beautiful in her newly remodeled kitchen!

It was a wonderful holiday filled with love and gratitude.

If you’ve kept up with what I’ve shared this past year, you know I’ve personally had quite the year. We took several of our rooms apart and remodeled most of our top two of our four levels. But along with all that craziness (and you know what I mean if you’ve ever remodeled or built a home) and entering the menopausal phase of life (how fun) I’ve acquired quite a few changes personally to my health, and it’s been a rough and exhausting road. But I still look back on this past year with SOOoooo much gratefulness! I’m still so blessed in so many ways…my boys & husband, my family & friends, the travel I’ve experienced, our home, my career, our overall health and wellness…

And thank YOU for all the support whether through following my posts, newsletters, and social media, sending kind messages or cards, ordering products & tutorials from me, being a part of my Stampers With ART community, sharing your ideas, and/or supporting through your friendship. I love that you are part of my world.
