I am unbelievably excited for Thanksgiving in one week! For the first time ever, Matt and I are hosting dinner in our home for both sides of our families! This is exceptionally special to us because the last (and only) time our families came together was for our engagement and wedding day! So you can imagine how much it means to us to not have to split this holiday with one side of the family!
I’ve been getting ready for this holiday for months now creating grocery and to do lists, pinning ideas, purchasing tablescape accessories and of course planning the gender reveal!
The moms and I are splitting up the menu for cooking so no one has to do all of it. I’ll be taking on all the appetizers {baked brie, veggie tray, hot corn dip, etc.} the turkey, stuffing, green beans and dessert.
For the tablescape, I’m going to be working with burlap, deep reds and golds. I’ve purchased everything on sale {and with coupons} from World Market, Michaels and Party City. Here is some of my inspiration:
{1 / 2 / 3}
After dinner, Matt and I will surprise our family {and ourselves} with a gender reveal cake for dessert. We may even get really crazy and announce the baby name too {Matt really doesn’t want to announce it until birth}!
{1 / 2 / 3}
Prior to dinner, we’ll set up a little voting station for our family and provide some gender predicting Old Wives tales for fun. The cake will be cut for dessert {if we can wait that long!!!}!
Throughout the day there will be lots of football watching in our house and I’m sure that will continue after dinner too. We will also likely end up watching Elf on repeat since my sister and I are obsessed {we have the entire movie memorized, no joke}.
The next morning my mom and I are going to get up early, throw a Fiesta Breakfast Casserole in the oven and hit the mall for lots and lots of Black Friday shopping! Confession: this will probably come as a surprise to you, but I am probably the most aggressive person to Black Friday shop with. My sister and I have a tradition each year to shop together because we already know we will get into a fight and then get over it. But this year my sister and her hubby have to get back home early to move into their new home, so mom is bravely going to accompany me to purchase loads of maternity outfits, gender specific baby clothing, Christmas gifts and nursery furniture! I usually hate to shop 364 days of the year, but on Black Friday I become a crazy, laser-focused 4’11” shopper, whipping in and out of stores with a predetermined list of purchases. I don’t stop to browse the window displays, say hi to people I know or go into stores I don’t have on my list. See? Crazy person on a mission. So if you see me at South Park, I apologize in advance!
{Leftovers Printable}
On Saturday we’ll celebrate my dad’s birthday by packing the family up with tons of leftovers {pending availability} and seeing them off on their 8 hour drive back to Florida.
So that’s the plan! I am so excited I can hardly contain myself!
