Thanksgiving 2013 weekend

I'm sure I am the only one in my family that still gets this excited for all holidays. Christmas Eve night I can never sleep, I am still into coloring eggs for Easter, and I have never not set off fireworks for the fourth of July. Everyone tells me with age comes a lack of holiday spirit, but ummm.. not for me! Every year I get more and more excited, especially now that I have a bigger family & my own home! I would love for my husband and I to have our own holiday traditions before we have children. I can't wait to make every holiday festive and fun for our kids!

Thanksgiving is a week away, and I cannot wait! We are doing our thanksgiving dinner(..lunch?) at my husbands parents house. My parents and my husbands grandparents will be coming as well.
My mother-in-law and I sat down Tuesday night and figured out what's for dinner. Of course we did not shy away from tradition:

 

Turkey

Ham

Mashed & Sweet Potatoes

Stuffing

Broccoli Rice & Cheese Casserole

Green Bean Casserole

Homemade Wheat Rising Rolls

 

And don't forget the deserts:

 

Pumpkin Pie

Cherry Pie (Husbands Fav)

Fudge (My Fav)

Cookies

& My famous cupcakes!

 

Having both our families coming together as a whole is the most important thing to me about the holidays. Especially since we might not be in Vegas for awhile. Getting to sit down, share dinner, talk, and just spend quality time together is something I always look forward to. Everyday I am very thankful for how blessed my life is and has been. The holidays together are just another thing I am so thankful for!

 

Because my sister-in-law and my mother-in-law are both in retail they have to work black Friday. My sister-in-law will be working throughout the night so we are doing an early dinner. 2pm. This works for my husband and I as well because we are going to wait all evening in line at Best Buy to buy our new TV and stand.

Friday / Black Friday is my birthday. I will finally be 20.  I know we will be tired from the night before, so we don't really have any plans so far for that weekend. But December 7th, we are going to dinner and then to see KA! I am so beyond excited. I've decided that I'm going to make hubs dress up for it. (:
