We have posted a lot about of Friendsgiving celebration last week. Between menu planning, tablescapes, grocery shopping and cooking, we totally wore ourselves out!

November is a month where people traditionally focus on gratitude. We love that because we are both glass half full sort of gals. Grateful and thankful are words that we use all the time, especially with our kiddos who are growing up in a crazy world. But, as we sat and reflected on our Friendsgiving day after everyone had gone, we realized how truly grateful we really are.

Since the dining table held 8 people, we decided we would each invite 3 friends. We had both met each other’s friends, but Stephi’s friends had never met Suzi’s invitees and vice versa. We weren’t nervous about it but hoped everyone would gel. Well, if you watch our IGTV (total shameless plus!!), you will see that our group of 8 women almost immediately acted like we had been friends for years. Everyone found commonalities in kids, jobs, hometowns, laughter. It was truly a beautiful thing to see.

So, in the spirit of gratitude, we want to express how truly grateful we are for our friends. Personally, we talk a lot about how amazing it is that we somehow ended up living next door to one another and have truly formed a sister-like bond. It’s special. We bring out the best in each other and we celebrate it. We love each other at our worst and lift each other up through tough times. And most important, we laugh. Hysterically. All the time. And it is so good for the soul.

Not only that, but now, we have been surrounded by this little tribe of women, these ride or die, bury the body and never discuss, love unconditionally and always tell you the truth sort of women. To say that we are grateful for our friends is an understatement. We weren’t able to invite every friend to our Friendsgiving this year for lots of reasons, but we hope that as we grow this blog, we can make it a bigger party every year to celebrate more and more of our awesome girl tribe!

But it bears repeating…. Becky, Jamie, Laci, Paige, Rachel and Sha, thank you so much for being the amazing women that you are and sharing that day with us! We love you!!
