A Merry Thanksgiving...

Getting ready for a wonderful Thanksgiving...



My Dad spent time this last weeked passing his legendary pumpkin pie making skills on to my brother. Every year for as long as I can remember, my Dad has made his pumpkin pies. And yes, that's plural because it's never just one pie, it's many. I kid you not, when Christmas rolls around, I cannot even look at pumpkin pie anymore and the seams of my jeans are holding on for dear life. But never-the-less, his pies are the best, and I look forward to them every year.




This year, my Dad not only baked pumpkin pies, but a pear pie as well. Now I can be sure and get all my vitamins this holiday season. The pie was amazing, we've already been eating it!


This year, Alex and I have decided that after we gorge ourselves on Thursday, we will wake up on Friday and over the next three days, knock out ALL of our Christmas shopping. Is that too lofty a goal? I think not.

And on a side note, Alex and I had this convo in the car on our lovely ride into work today~ Why do we say Merry Christmas but Happy Thanksgiving? Does anyone know this?

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend!
