Few words in the English language are more desirable to my ears than: 4 day weekend. I can't even remember the last time I had 4 days in a row off. It was so glorious! And I survived Thanksgiving with my family!!!! YIPEE! It actually wasn't bad at all. My mom had her moments, but we spent a lot of time at her house going through old pictures - which is one of my favorite things to do. No big blow ups and no tears this year - CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!?!? It's a Thanksgiving miracle!
I was pretty lazy most of the weekend. I did clean my house, rearrange my bedroom and living room furniture - by myself, and put up all my Christmas decorations though. But I also totally got sucked into How I Met Your Mother, Parks & Recreations and Harry Potter marathons. Yoga pants were my best friend. I laughed so hard at one episode of Parks & Rec, I spit out my wine. I didn't hate it! Being lazy is my new thing...apparently I need more friends.
Saturday was the PERFECT day to be a Vol fan! Alabama lost the Iron Bowl, Florida lost to FSU and we beat Kentucky! The ultimate trifecta. AND HOLY CRAP THE WALKING DEAD!!!! I seriously cannot wait until February now.

| TREE TIME!!! I'm a big believer in waiting until AFTER Thanksgiving for Christmas decorations. |

| Seriously love Christmas lights! I am that weirdo who sits at home, in the dark, with only my Christmas lights on. It's so relaxing. |

Hooray for no family blowups! I think that is a miracle no matter who your family is. Glad you had an awesome holiday!
Yay! Glad you had a good holiday!
Your Christmas decor looks so fun!! Sounds like a good weekend sometimes after a 4 day weekend it's even harder to go back!
Happy to hear you had a nice, drama free Thanksgiving!

Haha my brother suggested putting on Christmas music while we ate Thanksgiving dinner and my dad was like "NO, how about we celebrate Thanksgiving first!" Now I realize where I get that from...
So happy that your break went better than you expected! Love your Christmas decorations!! xo

Four day weekends are seriously the best thing on the planet. I spent a lot of time staring at our tree last year. I have to agree that it is relaxing.
:) I'm glad Thanksgiving went over well for you & your family! I was lazy a lot this past weekend as well which was totally fine by me.
Turning out all lights expect Christmas lights in the house is the best!!
it's always a success in my house if there are no fights!!! so glad that was the case for y'all and that yall won!
You say 'we beat Kentucky' like it's a real team. Damn football losers. At least we have basketball!!
I'm glad thanksgiving went well, yay!!
Love that quote and I am glad you had a great Holiday!
Four day weekends are the best! Your Christmas decorations looks so fun!

lady do you watch walking dead alone!? russ and i watched it together and i always got so scared, but i loved it. not sure if i am brave enough to watch it alone now.
I sit in the dark too! I love the lights from the tree, it's so cozy!
What a great weekend :)
Yoga pants are always my best friend... & yay for no tears!!!
Yoga pants are my best friend - especially now. And that game....incredibly entertaining and I was just listening to it on the radio! Glad you had a good week.
Those Harry Potter marathons get me every single time!! It's like they're just there to taunt you to not get dressed or shower or do anything productive for the whole weekend....
it's sooooo pretty! Glad you had such a great weekend gorgeous girl!
Your brother's pup and mine share a name! Did Tilly get to go to Thanksgiving as well?
I am with you on not participating in Christmas until after Thanksgiving!
I LOVE the xmas decorations and that lights picture. I'm glad your Thanksgiving was a success - I was thinking of you this weekend. Hope you stay warm. The weather in NYC this week is supposed to be in the fifties - so confusing to a Minnesota girl, but I'm not complaining :)
YAY for surviving the holiday! I did too, barely. Only one major blow up lol. And I believe in CHristmas decorations after Thanksgiving too- though I still have to get mine from the ex- oof. I JUST STARTED watching The Walking Dead over the weekend! I hope I can catch up in time!!
aww, i'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving ... makes the holidays easier when things go smoothly.
Firstly - I'm SO SO SO glad you and your mom made it through the holiday with no blow-ups :) That is awesome. Second, I'm with you on the Christmas tree. We worked on ours the Friday and Saturday following Turkey day!
