Thanksgiving Is Over

We had a pleasant and quiet Thanksgiving this year - just the 3 of us. Traditional dinner consisted of a yummy turkey, stuffing, mashed taters & gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. Yum. Luckily we didn't buy a very big bird, so we had leftovers for 2 days. None of us care to have any more turkey for quite awhile now.

After an early dinner and a nap, we drove around the neighborhood scoping out Christmas lights which then inspired us to get our tree out that evening (yes its a faux tree but has pretty white twinkle lights).

Friday was my birthday. Andy bought me a pretty silver necklace with a heart and butterfly pendant. And of course Carmen couldn't be left out, so she also got her 1st necklace - also with a cute butterfly pendant which she insists on sleeping with!

Saturday the outdoor Christmas lights went up along with this huge lighted wreath that I purchased last year on the after-Christmas clearance sale. Its hung over the garage and looks wonderful.

Sunday was a day of catching up. Laundry, dishes, bath for Carmen and a little housework for our guests that are arriving this morning. Can't wait!

Hope you all had a nice long holiday weekend.





Carmen wore her 1st dress Thanksgiving morning. She enjoyed it only for so long and demanded to have pants put back on. Maybe because her legs were cold? She insisted on wearing her Halloween shirt for the rest of the day and she even managed to sit still long enough for me to put a sloppy french braid in her hair. Too cute!
