How are you? Long time, no post! We had a very nice Thanksgiving weekend…despite both Josh and I coming down with a tummy bug. We pushed through the illness to make the most of the weekend which included…
Homemade apple crisp: pre-bake:
Post:
Butternut squash (simply roasted with olive oil and then mixed with sage crisped up in a little butter=heaven!):
For some reason, I took almost no pictures at our Thanksgiving meal. Here is one of Me & Kay before leaving for my parents house:
Kay sat in her big girl booster that my parents got her for Christmas for the first time:
My Mom is such an amazing hostess. The turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry and pumpkin pie were all awesome. My Aunt also brought green beans, green bean casserole, and pecan pie. Along with my butternut squash, crisp, and cookies, we had a feast!
The day after Thanksgiving, we went to a Santa brunch:
Kay was having a blast!
…until she had to meet Santa:
I think that may be the first & last time we bring Kaylin to see Santa (unless she requests to see him).
The rest of the weekend included lots of time with Josh & Kaylin. We went on walks and enjoyed tasty, easy meals at home. I also taught at the gym, enjoyed my favorite candy:
Watched football (touchdown Penn State!!):
Picked out our mini tree (we decided with Kay walking like crazy all over the place, a regular tree wouldn’t stand a chance):
and, of course, I got in some baking (vegan pumpkin chocolate chip muffins):
What did you do this weekend?

Erica you look great in these pics! So happy and radiant and little K is growing up so fast! And that crumble - and those muffins, yes, please! :)
Great pic of you and k! You too frank!! I love crying kiddos and Santa!!
Greg and I went to FL to visit with his family then I flew to Ohio to be with my family from Friday morning until today. It was a lot of travel and ate way to much food, but I can't complain...it was all delish. K is SO cute!!!
All of the food/ goodies look very delicious! I can't believe Kay looks so terrified of Santa. I guess that is most little one's around her age. I'm so excited to get our tree next weekend!!!!
The last pic is priceless. :) Have a wonderful week!!
we had thanksgiving on weds night at my parents' house in IN, then drove to MI to see my 92 y/o grandparents from thursday-saturday, then drove to Ohio to watch the OSU/Michigan game with my husband's family and drove back home in indiana today. it was crazy but fun :) my sister was terrified by santa too...she is 21 and is still wary of any dressed up folks :)
Sounds like a lovely Thanksgiving! Aww, poor Kay! Give her another year or two and I'll bet she'll be Santa's best friend. :) Glad you had a wonderful weekend!
So cute!! It is wonderful to have family time.

Why is santa soooo scary? :-) Same thing happened here.
