Buh Bye Thanksgiving!

Whew! I cannot believe Thanksgiving & this weekend has come and gone. I'm sad that it's over and do not feel rested at all! We spent the weekend doing lots of fun things but I do wish we had a little more time for relaxation.

We kicked off the weekend with a Wednesday evening showing of The Muppets. Ok you guys, this movie was soooo fun and just made me feel like a kid again! I highly recommend it...you know, if you like smiling for like 90 minutes straight.

 

Of course, I woke up bright and early to shower, finish cooking and watch the Macy's parade! It's kind of annoying that it has become one big commercial for businesses and new toys, but I still love the nostalgia of the entire thing.

We then spent the day between Shaun's aunt's house and my aunt's house. We continued the festivities with college football watching at Ryan & Kristen's, dinner at my parents' house with family friends on Saturday & dinner at Shaun's parent's house on Sunday. It was a long, but delicious & fun one! Here are some pics which capture our Thanksgiving weekend...

My round 2 dinner:

Jake...

Rocky...

<3 my sisters...

Christine & me in a post-dinner food malaise...

Dessert...yep, that's my plate...

My Chloe dog, still kickin' at 15 years...

So that's how we spent the weekend. Eating. Drinking. Spending time with friends & family. It was great.

Now I'm sad to say buh bye to Thanksgiving, but excited to bring on Christmas! We will be decorating and putting up our tree this coming weekend. I am so ready for holiday music, movies, hot cocoa and cookie baking. Eeeeee, I'm giddy just thinking about it! For me, Christmas starts directly after Thanksgiving weekend...today!

Have a great week everyone!

Oh it looks and sounds like you had a great time and great meal! Love seeing what others eat on this holiday. I am no black friday shopper but get me online and I can do some damage!

These pictures made me smile -- it looks like you had a great time! I love pictures of siblings, too -- you and your sisters are all so beautiful! I'm not a black friday shopper -- although I did buy a used book from a local bookstore on Friday for my mother in law...

Dessert is clearly the very best part :)
