It’s getting to be time for the Allen family to host their first Thanksgiving dinner. First things first, now that I have this new dining room table I decide I should probably buy the proper tools to dress it. So Finn and I head over to Ikea and buy 12 place settings including dinner plate, salad plate, bowl, drinking glasses, place mat, coaster, table decor, and napkin rings for about $85 bucks. Holy crap that rules. Instead of buying fall colors I buy a shade of blue that matches my living room – I can’t start color coordinating for holidays just yet.

Check it! Place card holders/napkin rings. How very fancy of me.
