Sharing a Thanksgiving recap and sharing my favorite Black Friday deals!
Hello friends! How are you? I hope my friends from the US had a happy, healthy and beautiful Thanksgiving filled with amazing food and beautiful memories. Ours was a big one this year.
I started the morning with an F45 strength class,
and then we all go to mom’s for coffee and pastries. We hung out with the family for a while, saw baby Daisy, and then came home to prepare for the usual Thanksgiving lunch/dinner at my uncle’s.
Our contributions to the party:
Ina’s Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Cake
and maple roasted Brussels sprouts.
The food was ridiculous as usual, and we had a great time seeing everyone, especially our new cousins that we had last year. There are four new babies in the family!
Annual Thanksgiving Photo:
After we ate, the boys took the kids out to the golf course with them for a round of golf, while the rest of us sat back, drank coffee and looked. After we finished we were pretty tired and full so we headed home for Christmas movies and sleepovers.
One of my favorite late night Thanksgiving traditions was midnight shopping with my mom and nana. Now that everything is online, it brings out a little nostalgia, but it is quite convenient to order everything you need from home, eating a slice of cake in your pajamas. 😉
I wanted to share some of the best Black Friday sales I found! I scoured some of the sales ahead of time, and I’ve included my favorite finds below.
