Leaves, a winery, and an Eagles game!!

We had a pretty busy weekend!!  We raked and bagged some leaves, but we still have more to do... And I met up with my friend Colleen at a winery on Saturday, and we went on a nice winery tour, and then we also signed up for a class on pairing wines with your holiday meals! So it involved tasting some wines and pairing them with a variety of typical holiday foods. It was great to see Colleen and catch up a bit! And we both learned a lot about wine too. And then on Sunday McGee and I went to the Eagles game!!

The Eagles game was soooo fun, but it was also soooooo cold!!  We'd purchased standing-room tickets for the game (rather than tickets for an actual seat, because the price difference is INSANE), and we wandered around a bit and found a few good places to stand and enjoy the game.  But, by the end of the 3rd quarter we decided we were both FREEZING (the wind just cut right through our layers and jackets!), so we left the game and walked to the bar across the street to finish watching the game on TV there so we could warm up!!  The Eagles ended up losing... They aren't having the best season (my Chargers lost too... boooooo). Outside of the bar was a really HUGE chair, so we hopped up in it and while we were sitting there a nice lady asked if we'd like our picture taken!  Luckily she took two because I was totally blinking for the first one... Whoops.

My blink! 

Not blinking in this one...whew!!  

Here was a pretty tree outside of the baseball stadium!  It's right next to the football stadium. 

This week is going pretty well so far, but I can't believe Thanksgiving is almost here!!  Where did November go??  Actually, where did October go????  We're going to McGee's family's house for Thanksgiving dinner, and I'm happy to say that I was able to claim bringing pies this year!!  I'm stoked to make a few pies. I think I'm only going to make two, and one will be my apple pie that I've made a few times and feel comfortable making, and then I'm going to make a Nutella Cheesecake that I've never made... but I figure everyone loves Nutella, right??  So hopefully that turns out ok. 

Theoretically my Nutella cheesecake should look like this one!!  

Oh, and I'm bummed to say that the weather conditions are supposed to be very mild for this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!  I love watching the parade, but it's always so much better when the weather is a little crazy... Either really windy or rainy or snowy... But this year it's supposed to be super mild and nice. So, that's not very exciting...  But anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
