Gobble Gobble!

Last weekend was Thanksgiving, one of the best Holidays of the year! Wednesday Neil, Megan and I went to Neil's parents house in Oak Park for a pre-thanksgiving, thanksgiving dinner. Neil loves cooking this meal and does a great job! He took a half day, headed out to his parents with his trusty sidekick, Clark and began cooking right away with his sister Lizzie, her boyfriend Kevin and his mom. The meal was great and the company even better! Clark played with his "pal" Biscuit and slept under the table while we ate. At one point he snored so loud we all stopped our conversation to listen to the dog. We left fairly early because of the insanely early morning we were about to have on Thursday!

Thursday morning we woke up well before the sun, got dressed and headed to the airport to fly home to Philly! We were back in the 215 by 9 am and ready to eat turkey and relax! My sister Kelly picked us up along with my brothers friend, Tim who took the red eye in from Arizona to Philly. Once we arrived in Doylestown we started eating and did not stop until late Sunday night :)

My mom cooked an amazing dinner and had all the Thanksgiving staples, including her newly introduced and reinvented stuffing. Yummmm.

After dinner we watched Christmas Vacation and all dozed off with full bellys.

Friday we just hung around Doylestown, and then popped over to an area in Lahaska called Peddlers Village, which I love! This area has tons of cute, independent (mostly) shops. Every year they go all out with great Christmas lights, a ginger bread house contest, hot cider, and Christmas tunes blasting through the speakers. This is one of my favorite places to visit when I go home!

Saturday we got up and headed to Stephanie's in Doylestown, which is one of the few sports bars (or bars in general) in town, and we took over a table to watch the OSU vs Michigan game! Since we were the only people in the bar they put the game on all the TVs while we drank beer, ate apps and yelled at the TVs during the game, which, thankfully, the good guys won! Afterwards we went home with all intentions of going out to dinner, but ended up snoozing on the couch (which my parents just got and is insanely comfortable) and ordering pizza for dinner.

Sunday we got to decorating! After a leisurely morning and breakfast we started de-pumpkining the house (my mom has a serious obsessed with pumpkins) and putting up Christmas decs! Once the tree was done we all lost steam and my mom and I cooked up some chili for dinner.

It was such an amazing weekend home and was so nice to relax and just hang out with my family. My parents always do such an amazing job with the meals and making the house feel like a bed and breakfast away from home! Can't wait for Christmas in a few weeks!
