Preparing for the Thanksgiving Season

I am in the process of decorating my house for the upcoming Thanksgiving week. I went to Kohl's the other night (when I wasn't working) and picked up a few things to decorate around the house. I had already purchased the pilgrims before Halloween. Joe had gotten me the turkey salt and pepper shakers at Cracker Barrel last year. Cracker Barrel has great Thanksgiving stuff in their gift shop that we usually pick up cheap after Thanksgiving for the next year.
I got this cute pillow for the chair and a little table runner to go on my Hoosier cabinet.

I got these cute "gourd" placemats too. I also purchased a turkey that holds a tea candle to put in the bathroom, an acorn basket, a couple of towels to use in the bathroom/kitchen and some new flowers to use in my OU planter that I keep on my hearth in front of the fireplace that we never use. Anyway, it's coming around. This weekend, Joe's mother, sister and one of her friends are coming down from Tulsa for the OU-Texas Tech football game. Joe's brother Drew and his son Stephen will be coming up from McAllen, TX (way down at the tip of Texas on the border of Mexico) to the ballgame and will be staying with us through Thanksgiving.

Sounds like you will have a busy weekend along with a nice family Thanksgiving. I also like to be festive. I have Thanksgiving knick knacks out at my house too.
Love, Merry
