I am thankful for: my wonderful husband who supports and loves me every day and who truly is my best friend and partner through all of life's up's and down's...
my kind-hearted and warm parents whose love, patience and encouragement I value every day for they are inspiring role models...
my brother whose comical ways and sarcasm brings laughter to the room when ever I am around him...
my sister-in-law, as I feel so lucky to call her my sister and have her in my life...
my extended families for whom I love so deeply and the traditions we've created together that I cherish, as it is the very core of my traditional, New England self...
my girlfriends who bring endless smiles to my face, their constant and never fading love, and faith in me drives me forward constantly....
my little Louie who has changed our lives in such a positive way, he is such a loving little guy who always has a kiss ready for me...
my health that I am thankful for each and every day...
and lastly, my privilege to be part of this great world and be alive today.

sleepy in CT!
baked brie with cranberries, I look forward to this goody every year
my place setting done by my mom, a one-of-a-kind decorator and entertainer
love these printables
Debbie's beautiful pumpkin pie with a turkey too
lovely acorn, leaf, and Thanksgiving pieces cover the table
Mr. Turkey is pretty handsome if I do say so myself, brining really does the trick
nothing can get between me and my stuffing. my FAVORITE side dish of all time
requested my mom's awesome pumpkin cheesecake too and it was amazing
little Louie taking a time out from all of the action
Christmas tree hunting...
I was obsessed with how unique their wreaths were and was sad I couldn't bring a wreath with us to CA
my parents' tree which took a total of 5 mins to pick out-it was already cut down and after everyone agreed the fullness and height of the tree were perfect, it was tagged. Keep in mind this tree is 11 feet tall--ohh to have nice high ceilings!
a family portrait-I'm looking a little gross in this one but at least we are all together
Louie's new stick, we ever let him go home with his little treasure :) I mean come on, how proud does he look?!
!MICHIGAN FEVER SET IN RIGHT AROUND NOW~
prayers before the game
my mom's famous sausage and cheese dip which is now a Carta family staple
everyone was dressed up to watch the game, even Lou
before things got all serious!
cuties
Louie taking another time out from the game...plopped next to the ice bucket :)

I love this toast shot, too funny
My Connecticut besties stopped by to meet the little guy and even though it was only for a short visit, the time spent with friends is always savored..mwah
