It was a great day and even better weekend since my brother, sister and her boyfriend all came in town. For the last three Thanksgivings Phil's family and mine have combined our Thanksgivings which is great so we don't have to split up our holiday's! Phil's dad and my mom ran the kitchen and cooked a delicious meal, my mom and Phil's mom baked, and Phil baked his very first pie! I took care of cleaning up everyone's messes;)
No Black Friday Shopping or us! I always told myself I would when we owned a home... Now I'm telling myself maybe when there is kids I'll try it out....
About 10 of us girls got together before Thanksgiving and had our own little Thanksgiving. Everyone brought festive dishes (minus a Turkey), had some wine and hung out. It was a perfect little evening and the start of a new tradition!
Fall is my absolute FAVORITE time of the year! October was a crazy month, however we did get to enjoy the second half with some fall festivities.
-Decorating our house for it's first Halloween
- Gilcrease Orchard with the Chippewas (Next year we better go earlier because all the pumpkins were dead, however the doughnuts made it worth it! )
-Phil finally carved pumpkins with me!! It's only taken 3 Halloween's for me to convince him it's fun ;)
-Cooked chili for Halloween, had some friends and family over, and passed out candy!
