We have about a million things to be thankful for, and you guys are at the top of our list. Thanks for caring to drop in and see what’s going on at our house. Much Turkey Day love coming atcha. Especially from Burger. He always looks so dapper in a photoshopped pilgrim hat.
Now go stuff your face and stop messing around on the computer. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to be unable to button your pants by the day’s end. We’re already hard at work on that over here…

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m in Canada and we’re all insanely jealous up here about the fact that our southern neightbours get the day off to feast and be generally festive. Enjoy your day!

Be honest, John is breaking out Sherry’s old maternity pants just to eat more pumpkin pie. You can tell us. We won’t judge! haha
YoungHouseLove says
Great idea! We’re both totally down with doing that. Too bad my pants are about a foot too short for John…

I am studying abroad in Oxford, and I am definitely homesick during these American holidays.
I am so thankful for your blog though which makes me feel connected to your wonderful growing family and reminds me of my own family (we all are ‘geeks’ too). You both are wonderful people (I can definitely tell) and I enjoy reading your blog every day! It encourages me when I am in the middle of an essay crisis.
Thank you for being so open and welcoming all of your blog fans into your life!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!
Do you guys plan to shop on Black Friday? Have you ever gone shopping on Black Friday? Experiences? In Canada Boxing Day is our big shopping day, I was wondering if they are similar…
Enjoy all the delicious food!
YoungHouseLove says
Black Friday shopping is crazy! To some people it’s an all day sporting event- but we’re the kind of people who avoid stores at all costs and just enjoy more family and food.

Happy Thanksgiving! The holiday has come and gone for us in Canada, but right now I wish it hadn’t happened yet. I would seriously love a feast right now. Your challenge to not be able to button up your pants reminds me of a time when we were having dinner with some friends and I wore some pants with a snap instead of a button. We ate SO much food and about part way through the meal the snap un-snapped. Seriously, and I couldn’t get it to stay snapped the rest of the night.
duvetgirl says
English girl here very jealous of your extra days off for feasting and fun. We just call today Thursday over here! Enjoy
Zerique says
Thanks for being such a great inspiration to my creativity. Because of your site, I have successfully painted the old lady paneling in my living room and gave my kitchen a facelift. Thanks for your quick response on decorating ideas!!!! I would have a shabby house without y’all!!!
Have a great day and I am up for the challenge of not being able to button my pants!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Wendy says
Thank you for all you do to bring beauty, inspiration and happiness to our lives every day! So happy to have found you on this big world wide web!

Today is a normal day for us Brits, what exactly do you celebrate thanks giving for? we were pondering about it at work today….
YoungHouseLove says
It’s basically a big meal with family gathered around a huge turkey with tons of stuffing and cranberry sauce. And everyone usually goes around the table and says what they’re thankful for and then stuffs their faces. Here’s the wikipedia definition for a more historical account of the holiday: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving

Didn’t read through the comments to see if anyone else had this thought, but Burger looks like a leprachaun. And totally adorable!!! Love your blog – I’m so addicted. Best wishes for the holiday season!
YoungHouseLove says
John realized that after the fact! I blame the green stripe on the hat. Should have made it orange or something- haha.

Boy Burger, you are looking right debonair for Thanksgiving. I wonder how you like your new house. That little girl is growing up, are you getting along with her??
Thinking of You with fondness,
Jeri Atkin
YoungHouseLove says
Well, I haven’t seen my new house yet, but I can’t wait. Mom and dad tell me that I will love it and promise lots of long bug hunts in my new backyard. As for my sister, she’s the best. She’s always kind enough to drop a little bit of her food down from the highchair for me to try. And she’s the perfect size to cuddle up to for naps.

Burger could pass for a leprechaun! Might have to use that photo again on April 1.
