Thanksgiving

We had a pretty good Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving weekend!  Thanksgiving morning was nice and relaxing, and we made some cinnamon rolls and watched the Macy's parade (with calm weather... booooo), and then I made a few pies for our Thanksgiving dinner at McGee's parents' house. We headed over to McGee's family's house as soon as the last pie was done, and we brought Guinness with us. McGee's family had invited Guinness to join the celebration, because they love seeing him. Weeellllllllllll, that turned out to be a huge mistake. Guinness was SUCH a pain all night!  He was whining and barking and going crazy while we had him contained (with baby gates) in the other room while we were all trying to eat in the dining room. It was SO annoying, and it was really stressful and embarrassing for me and McGee because we couldn't get him to behave and be quiet. So, the dinner was DELICIOUS, but we barely got to enjoy it because of our poorly behaved dog. He's darn lucky he's so cute.... But we will not be bringing him to any more Thanksgiving dinners, that's for sure.

I thought I'd take some pictures of some of our Thanksgiving decorations though!  One of them is new, and it's a craft that Lindsey purchased for me the weekend that I went to visit her. She got one for each of us to paint, and they each had our last name initial in them! We didn't end up having time to paint them at her house that weekend, so I took my turkey home with me and painted it!

Here's the turkey I painted!  It doesn't stand on its own (I'm going to have to find a way to hang it...), so I just propped it in a basket for this year. 

And here's all of our Thanksgiving decorations!  Definitely not as many as Halloween... haha

And this weekend McGee and I went to check out a hutch for our dining room that we found on Craigslist! The address was right in the neighborhood where we used to rent a house. We loved the hutch, so we bought it and took it home. But, before we took it home we stopped at our favorite bar that was right down the street from our old rental house, and they have THE BEST cheesesteaks that they cook up on a flattop right behind the bar. It's a dive bar, and we love it and miss it (it's a long drive from our house now!). I took a few pictures of the fun Christmas decorations that they had up in the bar. We had a great time hanging out there before we drove our hutch home. 

Here's the big moose head in the bar that we love and miss!  They have such delicious cheesesteaks... 

And here's our new hutch in our dining room!  We're going to put all of our beer glasses and wine glasses in the top area, and then our booze is going to go down below! 

For the rest of our weekend, we did a lot of Christmas stuff and we also raked and bagged a LOT of leaves!  The yardwork wasn't very fun but it was SUPER necessary, and the Christmas stuff was fun! We got the Christmas lights up on our house, and we also went to get our Christmas tree and we decorated it! We still have a bit more decorating to do, but I'll try to take some pictures in the next few days and post them!  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
