Thanksgiving Weekend

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! I cannot believe how quickly the holiday flew by. Here is a recap of our holiday in photos!

Thursday

We spent turkey day in Winston this year with Matt’s family. He has a large family so it is always so great to see everyone in one place! After a delicious meal we headed to his grandparents house down the road to decorate their home for Christmas!

 {most of the cousins – missing a few!}

Black Friday

 Let me just say that Black Friday turned out completely opposite as I had planned. For the past week, I have had a very detailed shopping plan of attack consisting of World Market, Crate & Barrel, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn and more. Well that all changed when Matt and I decided to scratch our shopping plans and start a new project – building {this} farmhouse dining table for our new home. So we spent a majority of our Black Friday shopping at Home Depot.

While Matt was hard at work, I decided to cook a little {16 lb} turkey for ourselves. This was the first time I ever cooked a turkey so I was a little nervous. With the help an incredible brine recipe {here} our turkey turned out delicious!

Saturday

 Saturday we spent most of the day watching football, specifically Ohio State vs. Michigan and Florida vs. Florida State. Both Matt and I were pretty happy with both of our teams. Later we had 3 other couples over for a game night. We played my favorite game in the world, “things…” If you don’t already own this, I highly suggest asking Santa for it.

 Sunday

 Sunday we went Christmas tree shopping at a small lot at the end of our street. For the past 3 years we have ended up with a “Charlie Brown” style Christmas tree since our living room was so tiny. But now that we are in our new house with much taller ceilings, we sprung for an 8 foot tree! More details and pictures to come in a separate post on our tree and Christmas decorations around the house.

I can't wait for you to post pictures of how that table turned out. My father in law builds us stuff all the time! I love "home made" things like that!
