Thankgiving Season
"The holiday season is a perfect time to reflect on our blessings and
seek out ways to make life better for those around us" -Terri Marshall
The holidays are without a doubt my favorite time of year. Not because
we get to eat lots of food, open presents, and shop, but because we get
to spend quality time with our friends and family.
We always make it a priority to all get together around the holidays
because its so hard throughout the year to find time in our crazy
schedules.
This year, I get to spend my first holidays with a boyfriend, the most
amazing boyfriend, and I'm so excited to make those memories with his
family too.
My favorite food on Thanksgiving is
by far mashed potatoes and gravy. There is just something so comforting
about it. I also love the buns dipped in the gravy.
I have one favorite Black Friday
shopping memories so far, and that was when I went with my dad Jeff. We
got matching Minion hoodies made, so if we got lost, we would easily be
able to find each other. We stayed up so late hitting a ton of stores
in town, but
most importantly, we got to spend quality time together. That is a
memory I will never forget.
Spend time with you families this holiday season, quality time. Be
present. Don't sit on your phone and ask when you can leave. Make
conversation because you never know what it will turn into, and you
could cherish that memory forever.
It is truly the most wonderful time of year.
XOXO,
