Turkey Day

was a success!

our bellies were filled to the max @ my parent's

the sweet potatoes made my day (thanks Nat!)

a sweet little bike ride was had on their street

and a fun little movie played for all the kids

sister's were bonding in the playroom

while boys slept all over the place

a fine tree was purchased at a very fine price

some good company & good pie @ the in-laws

while a cool little thunderstorm rolled into town

a trip to the theater to watch a little James Bond

accompanied by some Jr. Mints and some popcorn

and to top off the night, we even got some snuggling in by the fire! 

a success indeed!

What a wonderful WEEK it was!

First up of the birthday festivities:

A delicious wing-a-thon @ LONG WONG's with my 3rd favorite fam, the Daniels {no pics to prove it, but i swear it happened!}

Second round:

{tuesday night}

Dinner with the Alders @ Liberty Market {definitely a new fave}

Third event:

{thursday}

Lunch with my two favorite boys @ The Farm 

{most definitely a fave AND tradition for the past few b-days} 

{also a big day for my boots! They finally got to see sunshine & helped me shop till I dropped, whew what a day!}

Last but certainly not least:

{thursday night}

The most fantastic, the most delicious, the most FAVE of them all....La Grande Orange

with the company of the most fantastic, delicious, and fave friends.....Karen & David!

 

And to top off the night, we headed over to the Sugar Bowl for a sweet ice cream treat and a rousing game of Rock, Paper, Scissors {and to no surprise my hubby won. I think he should enter a tournament or something, he's THAT good}

dear rain boots

i promise to wear you with 

every single outfit

i own, matching or not,

EVEN if it is not raining out

 

maybe I once said I hated mushrooms and now I cant get enough of them

maybe I once said I was becoming a vegan but only lasted a month

maybe I once said I would never in my life start a blog, in fact I relentlessly made fun of those that did

maybe now I am "biting my tongue"

moral of the story?

don't bite your tongue too hard, it hurts.

I have officially entered the blogging world and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. But here I go anyway, wish me luck!
