Thanksgiving Weekend!
We've had a fun Thanksgiving weekend.
First, we traveled up north to be with Nathan's mom's extended family.
I took a chocolate pretzel pecan pie. Yes, you read that right. (LINK to recipe)
And, green beans with bacon which wasn't exciting enough for a photo.
My favorite part of Thanksgiving may have been playing a prank on Nathan's Aunt Melissa who couldn't attend. She's fun and I thought we'd have fun together. I made a Melissa cut-out, took her photo everywhere, then posted to facebook.
Here are just a few favorites:
She was a great sport. I laughed so hard. I'm not sure the extended family appreciates my humor, by the way.
We got our tree up. We traded in our huge Christmas tree (which took up most of our front room) for a 'slim' tree that's pre-lit. Score.
We also ventured to our local mall on Black Friday where we got THE front parking spot. We didn't buy a thing; we just like being out in the crazy!
And, we took the kids downtown to see Monument Circle all lit up and to listen to Christmas music in the car. It was hard to hear the music over their random chanting of "Pickles and cheese!" over and over in the car. (note to self: take earplugs next time)
I think the Starbucks cocoa wound them up...
Santa was on a motorcycle, of course.
We hope you all had a great 4-day weekend too! Happy Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for!
