Where: Thanksgiving at the in-laws!
This year we went to Matt's parents for Thanksgiving. We always do an every-other year thing with Thanksgiving and Easter, as we have found this is the easiest way to keep everyone mostly happy! (The hardest part is remembering where we were the year before which usually means we are searching old emails to help determine!) Diane, my mother-in-law made dinner this year and it was absolutely delicious! Oh my gosh - I ate so much that about an hour after dinner I had fallen asleep on Matt's shoulder while sitting on the couch! My favorite parts of dinner was corn pudding and the sweet potatoes (guess that's a little bit of the old vegetarian coming out in me?) I MUST get her recipe for corn pudding. Matt told me it's actually an old recipe that has been passed down his Dad's side of the family - so I'll definitely have to keep that tradition going!
This skirt I just recently purchased online from Kmart's Love Your Style, Love Your Size collection. You can get one too here (and it's on sale for $9.99 right now! HECK YEAH!) It's an absolutely great skirt and I would highly recommend it! The belt came from Sealed with a Kiss Designs (here). That website has many things I would love to own, but at the moment my budget doesn't really allow me to buy much more. My shoes are actually from Payless and are probably about 8 years old! I have had them forever and because they are some of my favorite I don't wear them too often as I want them to last as long as possible! I'm not exactly sure where the necklace came from one... But it's another oldie but goodie of mine.
It was a wonderful day and I truly am grateful to have such awesome in-laws - all of them, from my new parents to Matt's aunts, uncles, and cousins! I hope everyone had such a great day too!
