Thanksgiving!

For the first time, Will and I hosted Thanksgiving for his family. Just his mom and step dad came, but it was super nice. I zoomed to the upstate for lunch with my family and made it back home before they arrived. It was a super busy day, but I'll admit the best part of hosting is ending up with the leftovers at my house rather than leaving them behind at other people's homes. To prep though, I had to make the table festive, which for me is way more stressful than the food. Last weekend, I was at my mom's and borrowed her orange tablecloth. After a quick trip to Pier 1, I ended up with this.



I forgot to take pics of the tasty meal we made, but I did snap these of cupcakes and cranberries pre-cranberry sauce!




It was a nice Thanksgiving with lots of family time and lots to be thankful for.

The best part about Thanksgiving is that it happens on Thursday which means we still have 3 whole days until heading back to work! For us, Black Friday was for:

*wearing pj pants ALL day!
*online shopping from my couch (just as many deals/no crowds)
*looking at magazines and catalogs of things I can't afford
*eating tiny turkey sandwiches from leftover turkey, cranberry sauce, and dinner rolls
*watching multiple episodes of Dexter
*sitting by the fire with the pups
