Countdown to Thanksgiving: day 7-party food

Today I'm thankful for a full fridge and pantry. Because Adara is allergic to eggs and soy, we're having lots of fruits and veggies at the party. I also made almond flour muffins instead of cake. We haven't had this much food in the house in a while! So excited to celebrate with people tomorrow and not have to worry about allergies.

Countdown to Thanksgiving: Day 6-Funny videos

Y'all I'm bummed every day at how the sun sets so early! Adara takes a late afternoon nap and used to play outside after her nap for a while. Now she gets a very small window of time to play outside in the evenings, and we definitely don't have time to go to the park like we used to.
Even though I'm feeling ungrateful for the time change, I'm thankful people can make light of the situation by making hilarious videos about it. I watched it twice and think it's hilarious.

Countdown to Thanksgiving: day 5-baby bonding

We've been talking to Adara a lot  about having a little brother. Today she pulled up my shirt and started talking to him! It was super cute, and I'm so thankful for her excitement to meet him.

Countdown to thanksgiving: day 4-voting

Today I am thankful to be able to vote. I wish I'd spent more time researching the issues and people more thoroughly. Amendment 1 was the only issue which I'd researched. I know we don't live in an ideal world where scared young women are always loved (and funded) through their choices and options, but that doesn't make abortion right. I believe this would be a step in the right direction.

Countdown to Thanksgiving: Day 3-Dollar Tree

Today I'm thankful for the Dollar Tree. I got some paper plates, cups, napkins, and a few other things for Adara's birthday part on Saturday. It was definitely the cheapest option! It's so fun getting things together for my toddler's party, especially when I can get a good deal!

Countdown to Thanksgiving: Day 2-Friends and Family

Today we celebrated Alex's birthday with family and friends! I'm super bummed that I forgot to snap some photos while we were at Alex's parents house because there were so many loved ones all in one place! I am very thankful for all of them, and they will probably be included in future posts.

Later our friends came over for food and fellowship. The guys played video games and the ladies watched the kiddos. Adara loves playing with her friend Emma, and they had a blast together. I'm very thankful for these friendships!

Countdown to Thanksgiving: Day 1-my husband

I'm starting a Countdown to Thanksgiving by saying one thing I'm thankful for every day leading up to Thanksgiving. I'm also going to take at least one photo, so I can have something to blog about consistently.

Today is my wonderful husband's birthday. I'm so very thankful for him! He loves us very much and Adara clearly loves when they play together. We got to spend his birthday at home together, with nothing planned. It has been a very nice and relaxing day!
