Holy Cow! Yesterday was such a looong day...getting back into the swing of things after a holiday weekend is hard stuff! This past weekend was full of some really great food, interesting memories and lots of laughs. How was yours?
It was great only having to work half of the day on Wednesday. We had a yummy lunch at work and then I was outta there! I celebrated Thanksgiving & spent the weekend with Ryan's family.

Other than the turkey, our weekend was filled with lots of amazing recipes! We tried out a few from Southern Living, including red velvet cupcakes with brown butter cream cheese icing/white chocolate amaretto icing. Can you say Mmmmm? They were amazing! We made a pumpkin sweet roll and got to use the left over brown butter icing on it. Another winner! If you can get your hands on the current Christmas edition of Southern Living, GET IT!

| The extra dough...regular cinnamon roll style! |
We also got together with our friends for a Friendsgiving. More food, more laughs and more wine! Obviously an equation for a good time ; )

The ladies of the family also spent some time crafting while the boys were away at an auto show. It was so fun doing this with the girls...plus I have TWO pretty new wreaths!
 |
The final product...it took forever, but it's worth it!
I also have an adorable burlap wreath that Ryan's sister in law made me! |
Although it was REALLY warm this past weekend (considering the fact that it was the week of Thanksgiving) we still had a fire on Sunday night. It was dreary and cold that day, so it was so nice! I can't get enough of it around this time of year.

Our drink of choice over the weekend.
Can you tell I come from KY? ;) |
Lastly, on Sunday night, we decorated the Christmas tree at Ryan's parent's house. We aren't putting a tree or decorations up this year due to our move, so we're living vicariously through them!

It was fun seeing everyone, but I sure am happy to be back home!
