On a different note, all of the Halloween decorations are gone. This saddens me since it is my favorite Holiday. The positive side of this is I keep up my fall decor for thanksgiving which gives the house a similar feel. I tried scavenging the stores for discounted Halloween items, but they were seriously picked over this year! I found a few great buys at Kohls and believe it or not, Jewel. I have my eye on some items at HobbyLobby, but they are not discounted enough for me to jump on them. I need to see 75% off or more to even consider them! Below are some decoration photos.
I'm thankful this year that we can enjoy times like this with Isla. So little time is left before baby sister Estelle gets here. I'm already feeling the anxiety of trying to share my time with both girls especially when Estelle will depend on me entirely for everything. All I can do is pray it will transition smoothly. 
I am so incredibly thankful for the surprise baby sprinkle given by my Tri-Cities family. An amazing gift card to a steak house, movie, and money for a baby sitter was just the beginning. Not to mention the boxes upon boxes of diaper and wipes. We celebrated with a potluck luncheon which was amazing as usual. We do have the best potlucks!
Loving my diaper cake!
37 weeks and 2 days. Loving all of my gifts and so incredibly grateful. I work with a lot of amazing people!
So Thanksgiving finally arrived and it was such a great day. Justin got up and out for his annual turkey bowl football game. Isla and I got ready to Christmas music and ran around the house until we went to my parents around 10:00 to watch the parade!
Hanging out at my parents with the Thanksgiving Day Parade on and a roaring fire is my favorite memory of Thanksgiving. The smells of delicious things cooking and the plethora of tasty snacks on the table just make the day so special. Deviled eggs, Fannie Mae Trinidad's, and endless cheese and crackers fill us up before dinner starts.
This year it was just immediate family which was nice and relaxed. Tommy, Sarah, and Hossana were in town which made Isla very happy to play with her cousin. They were inseparable best buds. The meal was delicious and shortly after eating at my parents we packed up and headed over to the Pittard residence as usual. We stayed there for a few hours and enjoyed some more treats. Isla ran about getting into mischief and we all got to catch up on family time.
The day was over so fast! Sadly we have to wait another year to enjoy such memories again. We are blessed with a beautiful family and are thankful everyday for the beautiful life God has given us.
