We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It started out with me letting little things get me stressed, but ended up fabulous. I tried to “simplify” by making both my turkey and mashed potatoes differently. And after stressing that they would fail, they turned out great…God is so good!
Once the early-on stress went away, it was a relaxing day with wonderful family. Grace helped me that day quite a bit and for that I was grateful. I am happy to see her picking up some of the skills of have been trying to teach her along the way.
The day before Thanksgiving she and I decorated and did the table settings. I asked her if she wanted to make place cards, and she went and got out some craft supplies and designed these beautiful and fun place cards! I love how she personalized each one for the person’s personality!
Hope your day was Simply Blessed too!
Oh and stay tuned for a Simple Christmas Challenge coming very soon!
