Are you stuffed after a weekend of Thanksgiving leftovers?
We spent time with Darren’s family and had a wonderful time! I really do enjoy time spent with them. My mother in law is one of my favorite people on this planet. I don’t think a sweeter person exists. She is constantly thinking about other people and going out of her way for them. Knowing her has been a gift.
Thursday we ate an amazing meal together.
For Dinner we all feasted on pie. I tried the pecan and cherry and both were amazing!
I have to back track a minute though. Earlier in the day we caught most of the Macy’s Day Parade. I was surprised to discover how excited I was to see Santa!
Garrett and I snuggled on the couch and read a couple old Christmas books. I found them to be adorable as we gently moved through the pages.
Friday my mother in law and I went out shopping and had a blast. Typically Black Friday shopping isn’t my think but this was actually not bad. We went late morning and the lines weren’t terribly long. When we stopped for a coffee treat Sharon also sent me home with a package of Christmas coffee. I’m so grateful for her.
Did I mention it was a white Thanksgiving?!
Again, it was a wonderful time with family.

It is now officially time to celebrate the Christmas Season! Advent, Movies, Christmas music, decorations, festive lights, hot chocolate, and cookies!
Until next time,
