Deck the Halls

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. What a fun one it was! Wednesday I took the day off (go me... I never do that) and finished up some baking and cooking for our family gatherings. That afternoon we headed home to enjoy dinner with my mom's family. It was nice to do that on Wednesday night so that Thursday morning was not a big rush. On Thursday we enjoyed lunch with my in laws and that evening we visited with my dad's side of the family. Needless to say we were STUFFED! It was nice spending so much time at home with our families. We don't get to see either side enough so it was really nice! Friday Preston went back to work and mom and I spend a nice day together. We had intentions to go shopping but we ended up putting up the Christmas tree! Decking the halls is always more fun the day after Thanksgiving! Although we have had our tree up since last Thursday!

Saturday we made the mistake of going to the UNC/NC State game. The reason I said it was a mistake is because we lost. We are pretty sore losers and we spend the later part of the afternoon pouting. On a side note I doubt we will ever venture to Carter-Finley stadium again. We weren't the biggest fans of their fans. When grown women yell in your face when you are leaving it is clear your fans lack a bit of class. The fans of the year award still goes to Virginia Tech if you ask me. The highlight of the game was visiting with my dear friend Andrea during half time. Even though she said she wasn't going to associate with me during the game she ventured out with me to the concession stand. That is a good friend if you ask me! Although the Heels lost they still qualify for a bowl game so we are thrilled! We are hoping for a spot in Atlanta or Nashville. I have already booked us tickets on the Nash Trash tour (check it out at nashtrash.com) just in case.



Well there is still much to be done on this last day off before the countdown begins (to Christmas break). Off to the grocery store... it should be a sin to love grocery shopping as much as I do!
