Respect the Turkey: Green Friday

Ya’all? Black Friday? It’s for the birds. There is no way in hell you will see me waiting in line for 5 hours just to get $20 off of a toaster.

Instead? Green Friday. That’s where it’s at. Every day after Thanksgiving, I spend those 5 hours being productive. This is the 6th year my siblings, my mom and I have gathered together to make Christmas wreaths and swags for friends and family. It’s a great way to spend a little bit more time as a family and a great way to kick off the Christmas Season…complete with hot cocoa and Christmas music!

And, obviously, none of this would be possible without the awesome-ness that is my husband. He spends time beforehand trimming boughs from the back of the property. He keeps our fire going. And, in recent years, he wrangles the Monster!

This year we cut back on the stuff we made. We only ended up with about 20 wreaths and 6 swags.

Rylee and I wrapped up the weekend spreading holiday cheer and delivering the wreaths!

For some reason, this year, I am beyond excited for Christmas.

Seriously the best husband…ever.

Truly amazed at the positive attitude from my 16 year old siblings.

Workin’ hard.
