Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope you’re enjoying the day off, spending time with family/friends, and eating lots of flavorful food! I, for one, am ready to indulge in all sorts of delicious things today and, again, tomorrow for Friendsgiving!
I thought I’d give myself the next couple of days off from blogging, but figured I’d carry on with the usual Things I’m Loving theme for today since it is, after all, Thanksgiving! I’ll be gone tomorrow, but will be back on Monday to report on our weekend festivities!
Here are a couple things that have made me smile this week. Feel free to play along in the comments and share one thing that you’re loving! I read each and every one of your comments and love them all!

Sister Visiting from DC
Sister got in yesterday and she’s here for a week! I love having family visit us and, even better, I love that I have the next couple of days off to show her around and explore this area with her. We’re going on a hike later this morning and then we’ll start cooking our Thanksgiving feast together. I love, love, love Sissy time. -
The Sloth Scene from Zootopia
We watched this movie last night after dinner. The sloth scene at the DMV makes me laugh out loud each and every time I watch it. (And, yes, I’ve watched it many, many times). Ankur and I like to imitate the sloth laugh. Where our eyes and mouth slowly get wider and bigger and we let out a huge belly laugh. Of course, I can’t make it through the entire imitation without breaking character and laughing a little. OK. A LOT.

Peggy
I know I broke the holiday rules by purchasing my Christmas tree before Thanksgiving was over. But, my pine friends give me so much joy. Peggy is all decorated and ready to celebrate Thanksgiving WITH us. She smells so great and is such a delight to have around. There’s something about walking into our home and inhaling that deep pine smell that makes everything feel so cozy and warm.
Questions of the Day:
- What are you doing for Thanksgiving?
- What are you eating for Thanksgiving?
- What’s one thing you’re loving this week?
The fact that you named your Christmas tree ‘Peggy’ makes me laugh every time. I’m going to be trying to cook a turkey today – wish me luck! Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

Happy Thanksgiving! Every year I say that I’m going to put my tree up in November. Christmas goes by so fast…Our Thanksgiving is going to be pretty low key this year.
A break is always good. Since this is my job I try to take a day off where I just slack off every week. My plans fell through so I will be just staying home with the hubs. There will be stuffing and thats my favorite part of the Thanksgiving Dinner

I LOVEEE the sloth scene from Zootopia too haha. This week I’m loving that I am home at my parents house for Thanksgiving. We’re celebrating at our neighbor’s house today.
I’m loving relaxation this week so I’m thankful for that 🙂

I’m loving that my mom gets time with her grandkids. I will be eating pumpkin pie! Hopefully the only thing I’m doing for the day is relaxing at home.

That is so great that you will have this time to spend with your sister. I’m actually spending my Thanksgiving at my sister’s house too so I will also cherish this time I will have with her.

Love your tree, and your weekly Thursday posts! Enjoy your Thanksgiving! 🙂
Love the tree!! Also, I agree that the sloth scene in Zootopia is my favorite!!! Happy Thanksgiving!
I just put up my Christmas tree! That’s my big Thanksgiving plans, besides my early morning yoga class. I’m spending the day by myself as I chose not to travel when there’s a chance I may be needed for additional work tomorrow, but I have been cooking what is sure to be a delicious meal and I’m making sure there are also plenty of leftovers for the next few days! 🙂

Oh man I wish I could have gotten my tree already! My husband makes me wait until after Thanksgiving (what a Grinch haha). And that sloth scene is HILARIOUS!

I’m not putting up a Christmas tree in my apartment but in my fiancé’s family house. Looking forward to set it up. And, I might name it like you did.
Happy Thanks giving!!!
I loved the sloth scene from Zootopia too. It’s a classic! We celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday because my husband is working today. Had the usual Thanksgiving meal. I’m loving that my oldest is home for college for the week.
Family time is always nice, I hope you have a lovely time with your sister. I love the Christmas tree, I can’t wait to put mine up. We don’t actually celebrate thanksgiving in Australia, but for some reason we do have online black Friday sales, so I’m loving that we have that.

I’m loving having my fiancé and best friend home for Thanksgiving. My best friend deploys soon after the holiday. My fiancé will be heading to his first base before Christmas so it’s nice to have him here at all during this time of year. ❤️

Have Fun….. Sister Time.
I am enjoying our long weekend off.
We all need breaks from the monotony of life’s daily demands. I hope you are having a wonderful time with your sister. Happy Holidays! 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your sister and friends! I went to St. Augustine to explore the oldest Christmas town city festivity with friends and just loved it!

Okay, I’ve named every car I’ve ever owned, my gun, my baseball bat, and lots of other things that make me sound insane, my laptop, and my phone… but I’ve never named a Christmas tree before. That is so wonderfully, amazingly charming.
