hello, hello! well, i had a fantastic 3 days off! heading to work sunday was a bit painful, i was sad to leave family and i am sure gained a few pounds from the non-stop eatng fest but we had such wonderul memories from our thanksgiving weekend. here is a bit how it went...
thanksgiving! we were in charge of the turkey this year, everything turned out amazing. since this is the 4th year we have been doing it on our own, we have finally got it down, dinner was perfect! i was so thankful for wearing a loose fitting skirt so i could really pack that food in.
we had lots of nugget time. clementine does this thing where she loads things on top of you (im not sure if she has an actual name for this game) but last year tom was her victim and she kept putting sunglasses on his face. this year it was my turn :) she kept stuffing toys into every little possible nook and cranny. she is the cutest.
friday was tom's birthday so the whole family headed out to breakfast and had some more turkey :D then we played 9 innings of baseball with a huge group of dudes. the team i was on won, there was even a trophy and i even hit the ball TWICE and got to first base!!!
when we got home, the most amazing cake was awaiting tom! kelly-anne handmade a burger cake, it was AMAZING! almost too amazing to eat because it was just soooo cool looking! friends came over later and we laughed, drank and danced. i was over the moon that tom had the best day ever. it made me so happy that he had such an awesome birthday and i could not have planned it better!
the rest of the weekend we recovered, ate left overs and crafted. good, good times. how was your weekend?
xo,

Oh my god, that cake is insane!!! I would not want to eat it either, it's beyond awesome! Seems like you had the best time as well, what a fun three days! Happy belated birthday to Tom!

it was so yummy! she used a brownie as the "meat" part!
DeleteI also love that awesome cake! But maybe even more I love Clementine's dress and hairstyle - I want to imitate her this Christmas (if my baby bump didn't spoil the effect!) She is my new style icon.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a happy weekend!
oh i know clemmie always looks so amazing!! you would look sooo good in a cute little red sweater dress with your baby bump!
DeleteThat cake is seriously awesome. Though I can't decide if it would be weird eating it. I would keep expecting it to taste like meat! Happy Thanksgiving!

it wasn't weird it all once it was cut, yellow cake is my favorite!!!!!! the brown part was brownie, sooo good!
DeleteThat burger cake is immense! Love it. Thanksgiving looks so much fun! The curse of being British haha xx
ReplyDeletemaybe you should do your own thanksgiving? the canadians do!
DeleteIt looks like you have a wonderful weekend! Wish I could say mine was just as fun, but alas, it was not. I worked on Saturday at my friend's shop and it was PANDEMONIUM! I was exhausted. Then I had to grade student essays, and I swear they drive me to drink! But enough of me being a debbie downer...
ReplyDeleteThat hamburger cake is AWESOME! I am so glad you had a great weekend with your family and friends. Your niece is adorable. I am not ready to have kids yet, but when I am, I can only hope that I will luck out and have a beautiful girl like your niece. I love that she loads you up with stuff. That's hilarious!
Hope all is well back at work.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox!
what you worked! NOOOOOOOOOO!! im sorry sweetie, that is no bueno! i know i hope when tom and i have a kid he or she is just as beautiful as clemmie!
DeleteI love how Buffy is on in the last picture.
ReplyDeletehaha i was hoping someone would notice :D
Deletelooks like fun! Your turkey looks yummy. I have yet to make a turkey so I have to give you props on that. I got to play an interesting game with my little cousin who is a year and a half. He puts a handful of cheerios in my hand one by one and when he has put them all in my hand then he wants me to scatter them on the table so he can do it again. Fun times.
ReplyDeleteoooh wow your game sounds like another one clemmie used to play. it was kinda like 52 card pick up but she would throw the cards at you! fun times indeed :)
DeleteI cannot get over that cake! Amazing...I would have had a hard time cutting into it too :) haha. Glad Tom had a great birthday!
ReplyDeletethat cake is amazing!!
ReplyDeletedid it taste like hamburger ;)
xo the egg out west.
haha nope! it tasted like heaven! yellow cake as the bun and brownie as the "meat"! perfection!
DeleteWhat a busy few days you had. that bacon turkey looks amazing! Yum yum!
ReplyDeletebacon makes everything better, so so much better!
DeleteSo much fun with the kiddos. You look like a pro out there on the field holding your own. Happy B-day to Tom that cake is awesome!
ReplyDeletehaha i wish, pitching from the mound is so hard! but thanks :D
DeleteOh I'm so glad you guys had such a great time. I've always loved the name Clementine. My paternal grandmother was called Clemmy and nobody remembers but we assume her full name was Clementine. Happy late Birthday to Tom, it looks like you guys had a blast!
ReplyDeletei know i love the name clementine, it is so sweet and it suits her perfectly!
Deleteyou know it's funny, i feel like getting 3 days off is almost worse than 2 because you really get into the day off groove. it makes going back to work that much harder. i feel for ya lades! but man did you ever get in a whack load of funness. i mean, get a load out of that stellar turkey. what a centerpiece de résistance!!
ReplyDeletegetting to see you playing with the kiddos is priceless. you'd be the best play date ever!!!! i know i'd wanna hang out any time as long as you were going to be around :) happy b-day wishes to Tom, dude got a burger cake bomb is what! that thing is HUGE and awesome. how you keep reaching new levels of incredible i haven't a clue but keep doing what you're doin' cos i love it all! xo ♥
Looks like a great day & that cake is frickin' awesome! Love your blog, can't wait to see what's next! :)
