T is for Thankful

Morning and happy first day of December, friends. WOW, crazy how quickly November flew by, huh? I stand amazed that it's December already and the Christmas season is here. The weeks leading up to Thanksgiving were pretty stressful, so the four day weekend was exactly what I needed to recharge. A perfect mix of family, friends, food, fun, sleep and good times, too.

This Thanksgiving break I...

:: Enjoyed sissy time, since I was in Ohio last year.

:: Hung out with my favorite 'turkey' ;)! #hunkcity #lovehim

:: Chowed down on lots and lots of delicious Thanksgiving food.

:: Spent three hours shopping on Black Friday…in one store. #thankyoumacys

:: Helped put together the Christmon tree, at church.

:: Looked angelic ;)

:: Saw Big Hero 6 with the family. Such a fun and cute film, but be ready to cry. #ididtwice

:: Mailed my first round of Christmas cards. #cantwaittosharewithyall

:: Ate Thanksgiving numero dos with the family. #leftovers #morefood #familyfun

:: Slept in and napped a lot.

:: Brought up the Christmas decorations from storage.

:: Watched the Ohio State vs Michigan game! #gobucks #ohio #beatmichigan

:: Unwrapped my childhood ornaments for our tree. #firsttimeawayfromthefamily #thanksmamab

:: Spent 2+ hours trimming the trees, cleaning, hanging the wreaths and decorating our apartment.

:: Basked in the beautiful glow of a job well done. #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas #eighpounds

:: Mailed my second group of Christmas cards.

:: Lit the first balsam cedar candle of the season. #smellsyummy #bestscandlesmell #Christmas

How was your Thanksgiving break? Did you do anything fun? Any black Friday shopping?

Hope you have a fabulous week, sweet friends!

  4. Childhood ornaments are the best. My mom gave me all of mine a few years ago. I now do a shoebox for each of my kids to hold their collections as they grow. Sounds like a great weekend and I really wish Charleston had a Macy's!!!

    I just said to someone I haven't heard a lot of buzz about that Disney movie. It's worth seeing?

  27. First, I love that you wear pink, even on Thanksgiving. Who needs fall colors when you have pink, right? Second, I love that you took a picture of your meal. That is awesome.

    Sounds like a great weekend with family, those are the best ones, if you ask me! (And totally jealous you already have 2 batches of Christmas cards mailed!!)

  36. It looks like you had such a great weekend full of great food & friends and family! I love the picture of all of your ornaments! Most of my favorites from growing up are still at my parents, but I can't wait to add them to my own tree eventually. I was on top of buying Christmas cards this year buuut am kind of slacking because I haven't filled any of them out yet! Great job getting two batches out already!
