Happy Thanksgiving

This post has been sitting in my drafts for 2 months now.....figured that I would finally push "publish" on it since it's end of January... smh. 

San Antonio is military capital for those that may not know. We live close to the air force base here. This year we put ourselves on the list to host some military away from home for the first time. It was my first time trying to do this and I first applied to the wrong place, then once I got a hold of the right place,  I applied too late.  So it was just the 4 and 1/2 of us for Thanksgiving this year. I can't get used to having holidays by ourselves for the life of me. My entire life we have always had large family gatherings and the holidays seemed more festive. Lots of people crowding around eating snacks. Laughter and chatter. Kids running around playing. But this Thanksgiving was a lot more quiet than any of those past memories. Just my Maxwell trying to fill the noise quota. Ty cooked pretty much all of the food besides the pies. The kids and I tackled that project. My goal was to have a completely all organic Thanksgiving dinner. I think we succeeded!!
After we ate, the kids and Ty brought some meals out to the homeless and then we just relaxed. It was a very laid back and chill Thanksgiving indeed. I did some more decorating for the holidays as well.
