Good bye Halloween....Hello Thanksgiving!

I can't believe that October is already over! Now that all of the Halloween stuff is put back up until next year we can start to focus more on the BIG TURKEY DAY! Pumpkins are out, New tablecloths, and hand towels. We also have to make sure our turkey is front and center in the yard!

I try so hard in the month of November for our house to reflect things that they are thankful for. The past few years I have made a board everyone could write on. There was an I am thankful for jar. This year I thought it would be fun to write on white pumpkins! I am going to purchase artificial pumpkins, so we are able use them as a centerpiece every year!

My list is made for our Thanksgiving dinner. Now the timeline for when I will need to start prepping food and setting up! Each year it feels like our dinner grows larger and larger! This makes me so so happy because I love hosting for allot of people! As it has grown larger, we have had to move out of our small kitchen and into the garage! Thank goodness it is a finished garage that holds heat very well!

I know there are families out there that do not like TV in the dining room. Our family is not this way. All of the men (and some women) want the game on for Thanksgiving. The volume is muted though while we are eating! The T.V. is also in the corner of the garage so it is not in the way.

Last year we added these cute lights to our dinner. It made dinner so nice and calm!

Decorations for the dining area are a huge thing for me. Especially since we have grown so much and had to move into the garage! We purchase this plastic tablecloth roll to hide our garage walls!  This year I am hoping to make things just a little fancier!

 

I have been looking up allot of ideas on Pinterst and think that I have finally found what I can put my own twist on for decorations! Follow me on Facebook for more updates!
