Gobble Gobble! (and a down-to-the-wire Thanksgiving centerpiece)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ryan and I are enjoying time with our favorite Tennesseans. (Sorry if you live in Tennessee, you just cannot compete with our family.)

That’s right folks. We officially crossed over to the South for a few days of fun in Memphis. Lola and Franco are chillin’ at the pet spa for the first time. (Who wants to bet that they will destroy something and be asked not to come back?)

We have much to be thankful for this holiday season. A lovely home (if we do say so ourselves), each other, the most hilarious dogs on the planet, jobs, food on the table, family, friends…. and of course, you. Thanks for joining us for another year at NewlyWoodwards.

You make telling our stories a little more fun. Our future children thank you for supporting us while we document our lives. (Or maybe they don’t. We’ll see.) (And, no, we aren’t having a baby right now – sorry mom. Although it is clearly in the blogland water.)

Hope you have a wonderful holiday with much to be thankful for.

And, since the blogosphere will officially turn over to Christmas-mania tomorrow, here’s the fall centerpiece I made to bring to Tennessee as a hostess gift to Ryan’s aunt. I’m so proud of my mad skills, I can hardly stand it.
