Thanksgiving Blues

Hi! It's Jilly. Because of school, we've been away from family and on our own for many holidays. Usually it doesn't bother me too much that we're not with extended family on holidays, but for some reason this year it is really bumming me out! Thanksgiving is one that especially has me feeling a bit blue.

To me, Thanksgiving is this big, loud holiday filled with family and friends. Lots of people gather to eat, play games, and talk about what we're thankful for. This year it's just our little family of five, plus one of other couple. I'm sure it will be fine, but I'm just feeling bummed about it!

Hi! It's Jilly. Thanksgiving is sneaking up on us fast. It will be here before we know it! I love decorating for Halloween, but I also like decorating for Thanksgiving. So, what I do when I decorate for Halloween is use a lot of "fall" looking things, like pumpkins and fall leaves, then sprinkle in a few spooky things, like black cats and skeletons. Thanks for the foot bone models, podiatrist hubby!



After Halloween I take down the spooky stuff and add in a few "Thanksgiving"ish things.
