Thanksgiving

We had a quick month of November and a fabulous Thanksgiving.  Dave had a few days off, so we spent the first part of the week at my parent's house.  He worked Thanksgiving day, but was off on Friday.  I enjoyed watching the parade with the kids and we got our tree up over those 2 days.  On Saturday, Dave's family came to watch the Iron Bowl with us and to celebrate Dave and Pops' birthdays.  We had a ton of food and enjoyed spending time with each other...especially since Alabama won!

I'm still working on straightening the house back up and Christmas decorating.  Trying to do several handmade gifts this year, so I'm looking forward to that!  This Saturday we will go to the Christmas tree lighting downtown (per our felt Christmas tree advent calender that I am throwing together today...such a procrastinator).

I am finished with the kids' gifts.  Shhhh!   I shopped on Black Friday for the first time ever this year.  Before you gasp in astonishment I'll just let you know that it was ONLINE shopping.  I got all of the same deals without getting a black eye.  Ta-da!

For now, I'll leave you drooling.  I made this yummy Peanut Butter Cup cake.  I found the recipe on, of course, Pinterest.  It was so very delicious, even if I did over bake it a smidge.  ;)  It was still unbelievably moist!
