This is Chad and my first year living together for the holidays. We have celebrated together every year for the last 6 years, but this is the first one where we actually have our own place to celebrate in. So, even though we had two family Thanksgivings to go to on Thursday, we still wanted to have our own Thanksgiving meal in our own home! So begins the Thanksgiving on a Saturday tradition!

I made all of our absolute favorites, like mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, maple brussel sprouts, and of course the turkey! And how could I forget….PUMPKIN PIE. Seriously the best part of Thanksgiving is obviously the pumpkin pie.

I am so thankful for pumpkin pie, a kitchen to bake the pie in, people to share the pie with and so many other things this year. The holiday season always brings about a feeling of gratefulness and warmth that we should all try to carry on all year long. Time to carry it on until Christmas now! Tis the season!

We hope everyone else had an amazing Thanksgiving holiday! What are some of your holiday traditions?
