Our Thanksgiving

I know I'm a little late, but I needed a few days to recoup from the craziness of Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Christmas decorating. We had a wonderful thanksgiving, I spent all day in the kitchen with my mom, followed by an awesome meal... Boy did I miss her food. I slept for about two hours right after dinner before I got up in the worst mood of my life and started my shopping. I did Toys R Us online, Walmart in the store (which was pure craziness) and then Target in the store as well. Target handled everything perfectly... I am extremely happy with how it turned out and I plan on shopping there more often.

Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving :)

My Centerpiece... I only paid $7 for, and I can reuse everything so I don't have to buy it again. Dollar Tree can be my best friend at times, I plan on using the same thing for Christmas but putting old ornaments and some candy canes on the plate in place of the fall leaves.

Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast

Along with muffins

My mom's amazing stuffing

Chips w/ dip

Peanut butter fudge

Sweet potatoes

Mashed Potatoes

Creamy deviled eggs

Bacon-cheddar pinwheels (before they were baked)

The turkey... we used one of those roasting bags that you put it in,

OMG it was the juciest turkey that I have EVER had.

All of our sides

And finally, our turkey and ham...

Everything was just sooooo good. We were eating leftovers for days and there are still more but we got sick of it. Over the weekend, my mom cut up the rest of the turkey and some celery and mixed with mayo to make turkey salad. we ate it on sub rolls with lettuce and tomato.... it was really really good!!!!

In other news, I am almost completely done with my Christmas shopping. All that is left is to get a few more gifts, wrap, and send out what needs to be sent out. I finished decorating outside our apartment, and I adore the way it came out... we have icicle lights, multicolor lights around the window and in the front bush, both blinking... lighted candy canes in front of the walk way, a big blow up penguin on the porch, and our door is decorated with a 4' red lighted bow, and lighted garland draped on the frame... SO pretty!!! On saturday we are heading up to the mountains, Jefferson, NC to be exact... to cut down our own Christmas tree. Then, on Sunday, it's Disney's Dare to Dream Princesses on Ice show at the Greensboro Coliseum. Brooklyn doesn't know that we are going, she is going to be soooo excited. Stay tuned for lots more pictures after the weekend.

Wishing for lots of snow and the sound of jingle bells,
