December is here!!

Hey guys!!  Wow, we made it to December!!  Welcome to the last month of 2022.  

Our Thanksgiving was really nice!  For breakfast we made blueberry muffins and bacon, and for dinner we made our short ribs and pasta and it was soooo delicious, and the apple pie turned out really great too.  We watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for the first time, and we LOVED it!!  That is definitely becoming a regular part of our Thanksgiving tradition. Here are some of my Thanksgiving decorations:

It's December!!!  Wow, only 23 days til Christmas.  Craaaaaazy.  We went to get our tree this evening after work!  We'll decorate it this weekend after it's had some time to settle a bit more.  We still have to find time to put up the Christmas lights!  The weather has NOT been cooperating, so we'll see when we're able to do that. Here is my Christmas Bucket List!  And I'll post our list of movies we want to watch below the bucket list:

Our Halloween, and it's almost Thanksgiving!

Hey guys!!  I meant to post about our Halloween much sooner than this, but November has been INSANE.  So, I'll do a quick summary of our October and a Bucket List review before I talk about the fact that Thanksgiving is TOMORROW!!!  Whaaaaaat???  I can't even believe it.  

Our October was pretty good!  It was filled with a LOT of Phillies baseball because the Phillies made it to the World Series.  So, we stayed up soooooo late watching all of those games.  If you pay attention to baseball then you know that the Phillies lost, but it was still really exciting.  We also had a lot of fun watching everything from the Fall Bucket List!  Here's the update: 

So, we almost did everything (except the Thanksgiving stuff of course)!  We didn't get a chance to watch Wellington Paranormal (we've seen the first season and LOVE it), but we did watch ALL of What We Do In The Shadows!  It was quite amazing and hilarious. We also FINALLY watched Dr. Sleep and we really loved it!!!  If you love The Shining like we do, then I think you'll really appreciate Dr. Sleep. We were SO excited by so many parts of it!  So many amazing callbacks to The Shining, and it was a cool story too. We also watched the 1959 version of House on Haunted Hill, and it was SOOOO great!!  We had so much fun watching that movie, and it is for sure going on our permanent Halloween movie list.  

Here's a few pictures of our Halloween (I forgot to take pictures of all of our decor! But I got a few): 

Here's our fireplace decor!

And here's some blow molds!! We bought the one on the left a few years ago, and then Kevin's parents had the other 2 and didn't want them!!  

Our pumpkins!  Kevin's is on the left and mine is on the right.  

And here are a few random Fall pictures: 

Guinness and his pumpkin man that he's currently obsessed with!

Now moving on to Thanksgiving!  I can't believe it's here already!  Kevin and I are doing Thanksgiving dinner with just the 2 of us this year, and we've decided not to do turkey!  Maybe we'll cook a turkey at Christmas?  But, for Thanksgiving we are going to do short ribs.  Yummmm!!  Short ribs over some awesome pasta, and some veggies, and then an apple pie for dessert.  Yay!  We are going to watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving of course, and then we're also going to watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles because we heard that's a Thanksgiving movie and we've never seen it!  Plus it's Steve Martin and John Candy so it's probably hilarious?  We will find out!  Plus we'll watch the parade and lots of football of course. 

I will post again soon with some pictures of our Thanksgiving decorations and maybe our food if I remember to take any pictures!  And I'll also post my Christmas Bucket List!  I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!  

Yay Fall! And my first post of 2022...

Hey guys!  Wow, so I have no posted anything so far in 2022.  That is pretty crazy... But I guess it's just been one of those years, ya know?  It's been busy and stressful and weird and difficult... so I guess I just haven't been up for posting.  BUT, it is Fall now and I'm REALLY excited that it's the best time of year! I really love October, November, and December.  So, I'm going to try to finish strong with posts for the rest of 2022.  

To start things off, here is my Fall Bucket List! 

So, nothing too crazy on my Fall Bucket List this year.  We are finally going to watch Dr. Sleep though, because I've really been wanting to see it for years.  And we've also never seen the 1959 version of the House on Haunted Hill which was recommended by my Uncle Jim, so we're super excited to see that too!  Oh and OF COURSE so excited for Hocus Pocus 2!!!  

The Fall weather is definitely here already!  It's been chilly for a little over a week now, so that's exciting!  This Summer was brutally hot, so I'm excited that is over now. I've already been wearing lots of hoodies, and I'm excited to unpack my cold weather clothes and start wearing sweaters soon!  I can't wait for all things cozy for Fall.  The leaves are starting to change now too, so I will definitely take some pictures soon and do another post with lots of Fall leaves and probably our Halloween decorations! 

I hope you're all doing really well, and I will definitely do more posts this year!!  My goal is to finish strong for 2022 :)  Happy Fall!!
