Good morning and Happy Black Friday!  I hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving and so much fun with friends and family.  I always take the opportunity to go around the table and have everyone say why they are thankful for people at the table.  I tried a new thing last night.

We had 8 of us at the table.  I took the word “thankful” and gave everyone a letter starting with “T”.  They had to go around the table and say why they were thankful for the person on their left and the focus word had to start with the letter that corresponded with their next letter in the word.  To describe the person on their left, we had these words: time, heart, artistic, needs (as in meets everyones needs), knowledge, fierce, unrelenting, and leader that follows the lord.  I think those are pretty great things to be thankful for about someone! It was so sweet to hear what the family thinks about each other.

We had a fantastic day.  I tried some new recipes and also served my favorites that the family all loves.  We had so much fun with dinner and some Pictionary afterwards.  Girls vs. Boys…girls won.  Then we moved on to pie.  Full bellies and full hearts!

I woke up this morning with an excitement for the day.  Today is the day that I always decorate for Christmas.  Everything Fall is replaced my all things Christmas.  The sun is shining and luckily it will be 50 again here in Indiana so we can get the things done outside with no frostbite!  But first I had to quickly scour the internet for some deals. I don’t ever go out on Black Friday.  I sip my coffee with my slippers on instead and peruse the web.  Today I found some things that have been on my lists for helping around the house, DIY projects, and Fab Friday Finds!
