Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful day full of family, food and fun. We had Kale-Quinoa Stuffing Muffins, Sweet Potato & Apple Casserole and Coconut Sweet Potato Pie for dessert.

This Thanksgiving celebration was smaller than usual; my brother and sister-in-law are in California. So it was just my parents, husband, the kiddos and myself. It was sweet but we missed family that weren’t there.

Growing up so fast!

 We have a meaningful tradition in our family: the Thankfulness Tablecloth. We all go around the table and talk about what we are particularly thankful for this year. Then, we take permanent markers and write our thankfulness thought on the white tablecloth. It is always a special moment when we all go around and share our meaning or thought and focuses the day on where it should be: gratitude.

Happy Thanksgiving walk. Dinner was the perfect amount so it wasn't tooooo heavy but still, a post-lunch walk was perfect. What great weather!
