a little peek in to our thanksgiving weekend!

hi peaches! how was everyone's weekend? for those of you in america i hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving and at LEAST gained 10lbs! hehe, i know i did! it was glorious and so so worth it!
tom is the one on the left and i'm on the right.
tom and i left wednesday night the moment i got off work and headed straight to kelly-anne's house and clementine is always soo happy to see us. she made us block portraits...i think they look pretty accurate, no? hehe
and then uncle tom gave her a ride around the living room. it makes my heart melt when i see them play together. tom is gonna make one fantastic dad!
the next day we all got fancied up and headed over to tom's side of the family where we hung out for a bit and caught up with family. we then headed back to kelly's so we could eat what we like to call "thanksbacon". we made it up last year, it came from a conversation kelly & i were having and every dish had to have bacon in it and we had so much fun last year with it that we did pretty much the same thing this year! the turkey wore a nice warm woven sweater of bacon which kept it super juicy.
 kelly-anne makes the BEST water chestnut wrapped bacon appetizers....they didn't last long...
 i was in charge of the veggies this year and the pumpkin pie :D i was so excited when tom came home with a stalk of brussel sprouts!
with thanksbacons comes champagne...those two pretty much go hand in hand.... if they ever make bacon flavored champagne my life may be complete.
i really out did myself this year...literally, moments after stuffing myself, i feel asleep on toms shoulder for a good 10 minutes...that tryptophan really did a number on me!
we were all pretty much slugs for the rest of the night but we all managed to eat pie somehow...i am not sure were it went but i put it in my mouth and it was good.
 the rest of the weekend was spent eating, being awesomely lazy and hanging out with the little nuggets.bowie loved helping me scroll on the ipad. i couldn't complain because he is so darn cute and just really the happiest little man.

we had a really great weekend and still more to come!
xo,

    Oh my gosh I LOVE the name Clementine. It was my paternal grandmother's name. We're not sure if we will have kids but whenever a friend mentions what they'll name their hypothetical kids I always bring up Clementine and Jake always shoots it down saying it sounds like an old lady living on the prairie. haha. Thanksbacon looks amazing and those kiddos are too cute! I think champagne goes well with the butterscotch jello pudding cups. delicious and suuuuper classy!

    I hope your dress holds up better than mine! The first day I wore it, the liner completely fell apart! But I fixed it myself and asked Ruche for a discount and they gladly obliged!
