another birthanksgiving holiday for the books!

thanksgiving morning, we woke up at our house, watched the parade on tv [!!!], and headed to the farm. madd and i looked on while my sis made the deviled eggs. we did a little dancing to the timeless scioscia fav, tunes from a charlie brown christmas. [my mom found the cutest little record player ornament that plays one of the songs and has been quiiiite a hit with the littlest lady! she has some pretty fabulous moves, too, i might add!] my mother slaved over the most delicious smells. food was devoured!! and we snagged a few family portraits… goofy sister shot included, taken by the one and only photographer maddalena! of course! i was so obsessed with her little stocking feet, by the way, as she kicked her shoesies off and ran around in the little vintage sweater dress that was once my mommy’s! so that explains all the documentation there. ;)aaaand then! because i like to make sure there’s reeeally enough pressure on my mom around the holidays, we pre-celebrated my birthday that evening, too… since my actual birthday was the next day… and everyone was forced to make more room in their tummies for a delicious homemade cheesecake. it wasn’t too hard, though, because oh my goshhhh. yum!!! my mother, i tell you. she set the table with golden delight for my golden day [28 on the 28th!], and it was the very sweetest. gifties were opened, naturally, and afterward, we ended the evening with a campfire in the fire pit before heading home to get all snuggly.

our tradition these days gives us two days of thanksgiving, and it’s nice that it works out that way! so, the next day, we headed over to the in-laws’ for round two. which was also my birthday! i wore my new faaavorite dress, which is the only way to birthday, right?! and so… after all that… it’s safe to say that my chosen celebratory event later that evening was ordering pizza at home and watching new girl episodes on the couch until i pretty much passed out!
