Happy Thanksgiving y'all! 

We hope everyone is celebrating with friends and family!

We thought it would be fun to do a little Thanksgiving Q&A to share some of our favorite memories and traditions:

What is your favorite Thanksgiving side dish?

M: Sweet potato casserole -- ya know? The one with the marshmallows on top!

K: Sweet potato casserole for sure! 

What is your earliest Thanksgiving memory?

M: I remember in Kindergarten we had a big feast. Half of the class dressed up like Pilgrims and the other half dressed up like Indians. I was a Pilgrim. I had a paper bonnet and collar.  the Indians had vests made of paper bags and necklaces made from macaroni. I'm pretty sure my mom helped with the classroom feast. 

K: I remember hating turkey when I was little so all I looked forward to was eating the cranberry sauce and sweet potato casserole, oh and my mom's wheat rolls! Those were amazing. I also remember doing the kindergarten thanksgiving feast thing (Meg and I had the same teacher, just a few years apart obviously).

Have you ever shopped Black Friday?

M: Oh yeah! I have some fond memories with Kir and my mom hitting up the stores, bundled up, with coffee in hand, ready to score the best deals! This was when the stores opened at 6 AM on Friday. Now it is too crazy! I haven't gone in a number of years. (Wow! I sound like an old lady!)

K: I just went for the coffee and snack :) I hated shopping when I was younger! I was awful! But I do miss just getting up early and going with my mom and Meg. 

What are you most thankful for this year?

M: Gosh! This year has been full of so many blessings! The law firm was quite successful this year and I passed the California bar exam! But I'm really thankful that Hubby and I are healthy and happy!

K: I am thankful for my hubby and our families and of course our baby girl! Maybe she'll decide to come today!

Have a great day!

XOXO

Meg & Kir

Thankfulness

It’s finally Thanksgiving Week! I am so, so, so, so excited! Hubby and I leave tomorrow morning to visit my family in California! And I am so ecstatic to see Kir! It has been way too long! I wanted to start off this week by listing the top 10 things I am thankful for. 

10.       Passing the Texas Bar Exam – so thankful for the opportunity to be a lawyer and even  more grateful for the fact that women’s rights have come so far in this country to allow me to pursue a career that used to be dominated by men. 

9.         The ability to travel to visit family and friends and see new places – so grateful I get to see my family and super excited to travel to exotic lands over New Years (more details coming soon)!!

8.         Fresh fruits and veggies, access to food and clean water – luxuries I don’t even really  think about. 

7.         My little apartment – hubby and I are so lucky to live where we do and pay the rent that   we do.

6.         Hot running water, indoor plumbing, and electricity – ya know, all the little things I take for granted everyday!

5.         My health – so thankful that I am healthy and can do all of the things I want to do. 

4.         My sister – even though we fight I always know she’s got my back!

3.         My Mom and Dad – so thankful that they raised me to be strong and independent and grateful for their endless love and support. 

2.         My Hubby – so thankful for all of his love, support, compassion, sweetness, and sense of humor. 

1.         God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit – and so thankful I live in a country where I can worship  freely!

What are y’all thankful for this year?
