As previously mentioned, I did not travel to Doylestown for Thanksgiving this year. While I missed my family and the comfort of my parents house, I did NOT miss traveling one bit. I loved the relaxed day and weekend and really wish every weekend could be this great!
Neil and I went to his parents house on Thursday for our official Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was yummy and I was in a serious food coma when we got home that night. Still being a bit jet lagged Neil and I crashed early.
Friday morning we went over to Crate and Barrel to get some items off of our registry and then we picked up our first Christmas tree; my first REAL Christmas tree!! It smells amazing and it was super fun picking it up!

Busted the Santa Suit out as well, doesn't really fit like it did last year when he was about 50 lbs smaller.
After decorating, cooking and cleaning we headed back to Neil's parents house because they were hosting Neil's moms side of the family for dinner. It was great to see everyone and rehash the wedding and honeymoon! Neil and I crashed early again right when we got home.
Saturday morning started off with the Ditka Dash! My sister, our friend Nick and I all met to "run" this new 5K. Everyone gets mustaches and aviators to look like "Da Coach." It was a blast and a great way to start the day!
I know I look like a man, that was actually the point!
When we got home we got right to cooking since a few people were coming over for Friendsgiving!
All total we had 9 people come over to recreate Thanksgiving. Everyone brought amazing food and drinks and Neil and I cooked turkey with all the fixins'. The night was a blast! It was great catching up with everyone! They all allowed Neil and I to share our honeymoon pictures and stories, too!
I am so thankful for so much this year! It's going to be very hard to ever top 2013!
