Christmas in November

Due to the numberous activities that come this time of year, my family found that our calendars didn't leave much room for our annual family Christmas bash. As the time was approaching for our Thanksgiving Dinner together, we all decided to make it a two-in-one.
Thanksgiving Dinner and then kick off to the Christmas holiday with a Christmas party afterwards. It was "so simple, so easy, so perfectly perfect.*" Since Thanksgiving dinner was to be at our home this year, we prepped for the duo celebrations.
Christmas in November.
Everything turned out great. I apologize that I didn't take a picture of the food. It looked and smelled so good and we were so hungry that we couldn't help but give in to the temptation and eat right away. After dinner, the kids had a fun Pirate Christmas scavenger hunt (compliments to my sister-in-law for putting it all together). After the treasure had been found and the girls were Fancy Nancified, we opened presents. Like I said, it really felt like
Christmas in November.
We are so grateful for a loving family and wonderful holidays that make it possible to celebrate what is most important... Enjoying Time Together.
