The Sanford's Host Thanksgiving!

Tom and I hosted Thanksgiving this year at our house. We had SO much fun, and everything went smoothly. We really enjoyed getting to spend so much time with our family. Everyone got in on Wednesday night, and we got to catch up and snack on the delicious spicy/sweet nuts we made and apple cider. 


We got up early Thursday morning, and ate the blueberry coffee cake we made, fruit, bacon, orange juice, and coffee. Then the cooking began! We had a delicious spread of green beans, carrots, rolls, corn, turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, meatballs, cheese plate, cranberry relish, pecan pie, pumpkin pie and more! Wow. 

After we recovered from our food coma we napped and played games that night in our basement. It was so nice to have the basement finished so we could all relax and enjoy ourselves. I loved hosting, and couldn't believe how smooth things went. It was so stress free to have everyone here at our house. Good memories! 

Bathroom is DONE!!!!!!

Our bathroom is officially done. I cannot believe it! We got it done 3 days before all of our family arrived for Thanksgiving. It was used and enjoyed by our Thanksgiving guests, and we were so proud to show it off. I can't accurately express or write how appreciative I am to Tom for putting in so much hard work on this project. He was up there for days and nights in a row for hours working so hard. A lot of the final touches were very tedious and required great patience (which I lack) - and it amazed me how diligent he was every night.  We have now redesigned 3 bathrooms and only have our master left. We are in no hurry to start that one... 

We are going to take a break through the holidays and start on our kitchen in January. We have lots on our list of "fun things to-do" until then. The pictures are below in no certain order. HOPEFULLY you will be able to tell the before from the after. ;) 

Come over and shower anytime - we are happy to share!!

We had the tub refinished
