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!

getting out and getting wet

hey lovelies! happy monday to you all. hope everyone had a great weekend. we had another quiet weekend but it was so so nice and we both have been getting a lot done. what with christmas coming and my craft fairs, i am totally content with the quiet weekends at home but we needed to get out. we both were wanting to get some excerise so tom and i pulled out gilbert and went on a country ride.

the leaves are finally changing and falling like snow. it was so incredibly cold and the sky was threatening to rain so we brought rain gear just in case.

there were so many beautiful trees on the ride bursting with color. some of the maples looked like they were going to catch fire they were so red!

i have mentioned before that whenever tom and i ride gilbert we see turkeys, well on this ride we saw four different groups of about 10 or more turkeys! it was pretty awesome oh and to top it off someone had a llama in their front yard! you can see his little llama butt through the fence, hehe

on the way back we did get caught in the rain but thankfully it didn't last very long and when we got home we both took the hottest bath to warm our numb toes and fingers....oh by the way all you tom wearing ladies, toms are NOT great for stormy weather...they get wet........ O_O

in other news we celebrated toms birthday on saturday, he met me at work and we went to one of our favorite bars/resturants and enjoyed yummy pizza and beers then headed over to a show to see the infamous string dusters. they are incredible and that may not even be the right word to describe these guys. they ooze amazinginess and really to see them live is such a treat! their music just makes you want to grab your partner and do-se-do and you really can't help but bob up and down to the music...so without further ado...for your picking pleasure...
