Giving Thanks

I am always thankful for my family this time of a year. But, this year, I have an extra special reason to be thankful. His name is Korbin Bru. 

Although our house didn't really get Fall-y decorations, our house is completely underway in terms of decorating for Christmas. The mantel is almost complete. It is just waiting for a finishing touch from a Christmas Banner from Etsy and some pillar candles (maybe some faux presents for good measure-and good pictures). The Christmas tree is up but we always save decorating it for Thanksgiving Day as a tradition. 

He sort of rolled from his original position, but I still thought this was too cute.

We always go to my Aunt's house for Thanksgiving. This is really something that I have only gotten to enjoy for the past few years. In a previous life, Thanksgiving or any holiday for that matter was not spent with my family, but with the other's family. I am lucky that Jeffrey loves my family and wants to spend time with them during the holidays. (He calls them mom and dad and they call him son). 

This is Korbin's first Thanksgiving and my aunt is so excited to have a baby at the house. My husband mentioned that next year Korbin would be able to participate in Thanksgiving dinner by eating sweet potatoes. I was like sweet potatoes?! If he is anything like his daddy, he will be crying for the turkey leg!

I would like to start a tradition for breakfast, something cute and alliterative. Like Bloody Marys and Brunch or Banana Bread, or Blueberry muffins or Blueberry Pancakes or Mimosas and Muffins, or something like that. I like having things that I always do. It makes me look forward to the holidays that much more. I want to create things that my little one can enjoy in the future, including introducing the Elf on a Shelf tonight and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

Other cool traditions?
