The car is packed, the coffee is brewed, and we’re off to Maryland for the holiday!

There are only two of us (plus little terrier) and we still very nearly had to strap bags to the roof of the car. I have no idea what exactly we have in all of this luggage, it seems to have multiplied of it’s own accord.

Everyone is able to make it this year so we will need a very long table. I do wish we could have our dinner alfresco a la The Hillfigers. Doesn’t this look fantastic?

Indoors or out we’ll raise our glass and toast to family and friends, to all of the blessings we are thankful for, big and small.

And since there will be no less than six dogs and two cats in attendance, it is quite likely that our Thanksgiving table will come to a similar end! Even if that is the case, I can’t wait. There is nothing better than spending Thanksgiving morning in your pajamas, hot cup of coffee in hand, Macy’s parade slowly rolling by on the TV, the smell of roasting turkey wafting through the air. Bumping into each other in the kitchen, all pretending to help, but all really trying to sneak a taste of the stuffing. I am grateful for every little moment of Thanksgiving weekend, even the six hour road trip we’ve just begun (mostly because we have a fab playlist at the ready).  To everyone else embarking on road trips and catching flights today, have a safe and hassle free journey!

P.S. If anyone else is as obsessed with the Hillfigers video that originated the above images as I am, you can watch it to your heart’s content on the Tommy Hillfiger  website.  Their abundance of tartan, fabulous outfits, and charming table setting have me completely smitten!
