Blessed and grateful!

Harper created the Thanksgiving Grateful Jar four Thanksgivings ago and it’s become an annual tradition.  Once the jar is filled up, each person takes turns reading a handful of the jar’s contents.  I find myself oohing and aweing or saying that’s I good one, or I should have written that with each saying. From friends, family, money, to farting, chipotle, water, sleep away camp, dutch braids, sweatpants, and much more.  We are thankful for the “obvious” ones but thankful for the small mundane things as well…which truly are the big and beautiful things.  I love this tradition….such a great reminder of life’s beautiful blessings. 

Food was delicious, plentiful, yet fairly simple.  

Matchy matchy this year!  Not planned, we just all love brown!!

Beautifully blessed in brown!

The mission…four hours of shopping at the outlets hitting up at least 20 stores!  

My normal clothes shopping is typically from my phone and only visiting stores for the returns, so the girls were both shocked and ecstatic when I told them mid-week that we would be having a girl’s day at the Leesburg outlets on Saturday…and specifically what my mission was!

Mission was accomplished….we visited at least 20 stores, not missing a single one that we wanted to go to. 

Emerson’s opinion…she made out the best, Harper fairly well and while Avery didn’t get as much stuff, she did get the few items she wanted.  Apparently, I made out decently as well!

We ended the evening with dinner at Sweetwater followed by fro-yo at Sweet Frog making it just before the store’s closing. 

Justin played golf in the morning and then had the afternoon to himself.  The girls were all smiles and laughs as they retold him the events of the afternoon and displayed all the purchases.
