Happy Thanksgiving, from Alex.

...and the pilgrims and Native Americans.

Away I go, to eat and eat and eat and eat

The time has arrived for me to drive off into the sunset to the land of this...

and this...

...to partake in my most favorite activity in the world...

THE THANKSGIVING FEAST!

No one does it like my mama does it.

I can promise you that!

PLUS I'll be eating desserts.

I.can't.wait.

Then it's off to the land of this...

and this...

...to partake in neither of those things.

But there will be ginger boyfriend family time and a wedding.

Have a stupendous Thanksgiving, y'all!!

EAT LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF FOOD!!!

A little late

A few pictures from Thanksgiving

I'm off to Dallas this weekend for a farewell party for an old roommate. Lucky girl is moving to LONDON. Jealousy.

Have a fantabulous weekend!

Thanksgiving in retrospect

What a Texas traveler I was these past few days!

San Antonio for a night, Georgetown for the Thanksgiving meal with the parentals, Aaron, and family friends, immediately on to Arlington, then back to Houston last night.

Oddly enough, it was quite the relaxing weekend.

The Thanksgiving meal was delicious [even though my mom didn't cook it. I survived!], and I may have consumed three pieces of pie.

Our time in Arlington with Aaron's parents was lovely as usual. I partook in my first Black Friday shopping in I don't know how long, and came out a winner with my mom's Christmas gift, gorgeous black boots [that I paid for but will end up being a Christmas gift from mom. Thanks!], and some goodies from Ulta. The day was all about Aaron, though, who is turning into a girl when it comes to shopping.

We also watched all the episodes so far of The Walking Dead. Have you seen it? If not, DO IT! It is so good. A show about zombies may sound a little corny, but I promise it is very well done and will have you wanting more. Maybe we all stayed up until 1 am watching them all.

Last night I put up my very first Christmas tree! Aaron's grandma gave it to me, and I am so excited to have my very own. I still need some lights and ornaments, but it's a nice start. Chester is enthralled with it and won't stop running around it while meowing.

Now it's back to work. Booooo!

But Christmas is in less than a month!
