Holiday Anticipation

It's only November 8th but I am getting so excited for the holidays!! Maybe it's because this year John Mark will be able to understand a bit more about Christmas or maybe it's because I'm anticipating the yummy food or maybe it's just because I simply love, love, love the holidays!! Whatever it is, I just can't wait!

I was talking to Mark today about creating a menu for the week before Thanksgiving. "Why on earth do I need to create a menu?" you may ask. WELL, my brother and his wife are coming over from England JUST for the Pilgrim Feast!! I KNOW!! How exciting is that? It's going to be amazing. Since they're going to be here, my parents and sister will also be joining us. Hence the need to have a menu planned out.

A full week with my entire family in this house. We don't even have enough room but it's going to be good times. Thankfully we'll have our nightly G&T's to get us through. And yes, I'm sure we'll get on each other's nerves and possibly have some arguments. But that's what I love. I love that we'll fall back into our old ways and it'll be like we were never apart. I love my family. I am so truly blessed to be part of such a wonderful and amazing group of people.

Matthew and Lesley, I cannot WAIT to see you both!!!
