Nov. Gratitude Challenge {days 27 & 28}

Hello and happy Thursday…and…

I can’t believe my November gratitude challenge is almost over. I only have a few days left.

Picking up where I left off…

Day 27: holiday traditions you are grateful for…I’m grateful for many traditions. Of course, Thanksgiving and Christmas typically have quite a few traditions. For us, Thanksgiving looks different year to year. Some years, we stay home (but have to travel to E-town or Louisville for Thanksgiving), and other years we are in KC.

On Thanksgiving, a tradition I have no matter where I am is to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.

As for Christmas, we always bake cookies at some point during the holiday season. We also go to the Horse Park to drive through their lights display.

One of my favorite traditions is letting the kids pick out a gift for each other to open, usually on Christmas Eve if we are home. It’s always fun seeing what they pick out for each other.

Day 28: something that made you smile today…

Thanksgiving always makes me smile. It’s my favorite holiday…great food, time with family, and no stress of buying gifts!

Gobble til you wobble! If you need a way to use up your leftover turkey, this recipe is a day after Thanksgiving tradition in our family.

If you need me, I will be sipping my coffee and watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade this morning.

I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving.
