Happy Thanksgiving! And Black Friday weekend! And school break!! I know I haven’t posted in what feels like forever BUT I’m trying to get back on track! I think y’all can agree with me that the past couple weeks seem to have been a bit crazy for everyone (especially with finals coming up). So I kind of took a week off of posting for Thanksgiving but I’m back now! And I figured I would just the whole weekend in one post and catch y’all up to speed!
My Italian class made cannoli for Thanksgiving! They were pretty good and not hard to make at all actually.
My dog Baxter was being really cute and sweet when I came home so I took advantage and took cute selfies with him (bc why not?)
Wednesday, I just kind of chilled out and tried to get some studying done, then it was THANKSGIVING! Good food, parades, family, cozy pajamas, everything. It also marks the officially beginning of Christmas time for me!
I woke up early, made pancakes for the family, and watched the parade with my mom and sister (one of our favorite traditions). Then we started to get ready to go help my grandparents fix dinner!
Also, yeah, we eat Thanksgiving dinner and apparently everybody else east lunch??? I mean I understand, we eat dinner because it works with everybody’s Thanksgiving day schedule but I guess I didn’t realize nobody else ate it for dinner!
Anyways. We had such a good dinner, I got to catch up with Kelsey again! We also celebrated her 21st birthday with the family on Thanksgiving! Her birthday is actually today, so happy birthday Kels!
The next morning, mom and I woke up to do our Black Friday shopping at the beautiful time of 4:30! We have always gotten up around that time (I like it because it’s still dark) but I think both of us have agreed to sleep in some extra hours next year! We were both d r a g g i n g. We think maybe it’s because we skipped some coffee (which we definitely will never do again) but we got some cute stuff and went back home to take naps for the rest of the day.
We also got our tree this weekend!! So exciting!!!! I looooove Christmas y’all. I’m honestly the happiest girl in the world because there is FINALLY Christmas music on the radio and our house smells like the tree!!
Sunday rolled around and I spent most of the day doing all the work I procrastinated doing the whole break. But this week, I’m going with Abby and our friend Heather to DISNEY!!! Yes, we are going to Disney (AT CHRISTMAS) and I couldn’t be MORE excited! So I’m rushing to get everything done in time!!
If you stayed to read that whole thing, good for you. I know it was a mess. Before I go, I just want to say I am so so grateful to have this little space to write and share my life! I love the friends I’m making on the way and am so thankful that this is even possible (yay internet!). How was your Thanksgiving weekend? Did you go shopping on Black Friday?! Let me know in the comments!
xoxo Ariana
