You see, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, hands down. It's an entire holiday based around hanging out with the people you love, eating delicious food, and watching football. There are no presents to stress over. It's always on a weekday, so you are guaranteed a day off (umm, unless your not, sorry, in which case let me know next year and I'll bring you a plate!).
This year we have so much to be thankful for, that it just seemed wrong to jump into all things Christmas the very next day. Seriously, I tried to listen to Christmas music, and it just didn't work. So, for the next 3 days I'll be basking in the buttery glow of a heightened sense of gratitude, leftovers and fall colors.
Our Thanksgiving day was fantastic. We started out at my parents' house with tons of relatives and food and ended up at Sam's parents' house where Avery got to meet her Aunt Linda, Uncle Doyle, and Greatgrandpa Forbes for the first time. Magic. Well, almost magic.
We had such a cute little "I'm Stuffed" Thanksgiving outfit for Avery to wear. She managed to have a blowout in it approximately 5 minutes after getting to my parents' house, so no pictures in that.
In case you weren't keeping track, that now makes the count:
Avery - 139 Alison's attempts to dress her daughter in adorable outfits for special occasions - 0.
Luckily, there was enough cuteness going around to overcome the lack of fall themed fashion.
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving! Have you succumbed to the Christmas craziness yet?
i have. i did. i'm sorry. :(
