thankful

if i tried to list everything i am thankful for, i wouldn't be able to. there are so many things that have shaped my life that though i may not have appreciated them at the time, i am thankful for them now. my family, friends, faith and opportunities that i have been granted make me truly blessed. thanksgiving always reminds me how lucky i am and how much i have to give thanks for.

the most updated headcount for thanksgiving at our house is 22 people. our house will be full of the thanksgiving spirit and i am thankful that we are able to open our beautiful home to so many people. feeding 22 people may sound like a challenge to some, but the lowe-parsley-jennings family knows how to do large amounts of food and people. so what all is on our menu? just a little bit of everything so that no one's thanksgiving tradition dish is left out. here's whats on the menu:
  • turkey, ham
  • broccoli casserole
  • dressing 
  • sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, yukon potatoes
  • green beans
  • macaroni and cheese
  • squash casserole 
  • corn casserole
  • cranberry relish 
  • green jello salad 
  • greens and black eyed peas 
  • dinner rolls, baby butterball biscuits
  • relish tray, deviled eggs, celery with pimento spread, jalepeno relish with cream cheese 
  • chocolate pecan pie, apple pie, pumpkin cream cake, pumpkin pie 

quite the menu we have planned out and mom is afraid we won't have enough... i think we will have more than we will know how to dole out at the end of the evening. 

since it is thanksgiving and thursday, a special throwback is in order. this picture never ceases to make us laugh every time we see it. 


happy thanksgiving y'all and remember what you are thankful for!

xoxo,
