We celebrated a day early this year - zac has to work Thanksgiving Day and the day after. At first this thought stressed me out...but now I'm pretty pleased with how it all turned out.

That might possibly be the most adorable apron I have yet to see. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for one the kids can share.
I'm curious now about this sweet potato recipe. Perhaps you could post it??? I want to try a new one this year and came across a blog for a coconut sweet potato one. Since our family was not together for Thanksgiving, I'm looking forward to the turkey dinner at Christmas.
So glad you had a nice Thanksgiving together, even if it wasn't on the exact day. :)
i am thankful for such an awsome and articulate friend who gives thanks with such abandon. ps i LOVE that sweater!
