Well I don't know about you but I think I'm still full from yesterday's meal! Thanksgiving isn't just about the food though, it's about family and coming together to make a massive feast for all to enjoy. I can tell you I'm certainly so thankful for that! I ate so much yesterday between lunch at my house and dinner at my boyfriends! Typical fare like turkey, mashed potatoes, and homemade stuffing, but also other things like scalloped corn, cool whip fruit salad, and grandma's homemade banana bread. Not to mention some delcious pie that I made Wednesday! :) I don't think there's any better feeling than having your 82 year old grandmother stand in the kitchen with you to teach you how to make homemade whipped cream with her kitchen aid mixer that she's made very clear will be yours someday. It was just a great day all around.
#BLACKFRIDAY
Today, my mom and I took our Black Friday extravaganza together. Unfortunately my aunt couldn't attend due to working in Long Island to help victims of Sandy. Typically my mom and I buy only a couple things here and there, some great deals for ourself that we wouldn't otherwise get; today was a different story. While my mom still has quite a bit to buy, I'm happy to report I am probably 3/4 of the way done with all my Christmas shopping already! I helped her get a great start on gifts for the family as well. It was a lot of fun but my bed is feeling pretty good after 10 hours of shopping!
Tomorrow is family Thanksgiving with my boyfriend's family so just when I thought there might be a bubble of room in my stomach I'll eat another huge meal! After that, it's back to school on Sunday (this break flew by!) and I'm so excited to be decorating my apartment for Christmas on Monday! Although I'm not sure Noey will appreciate it, he isn't a big fan of change or the fact the Christmas tree with sparkly garland and ornaments he can swat that he enjoys so much takes over the area where his infamous green moon chair is. Let's hope he makes peace with the tree this year!
Happy Holidays!
