Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving - albeit, a day early! No huge plans for the holiday here - I'm "working", which means I'm committed to staying in town, so my sister flew in for the holiday. We'll be joined by the fiancee, and a random assortment of co-workers for the big meal. I've hosted for the past three years here, and enjoy the day to cook and eat. Preparations started this past weekend with a huge shopping trip and I spent last night baking two pies and cookies - more on that later.

Below is a photo my parents sent me of the Thanksgiving present I sent them this year. I'm absolutely horrible at taking photos of my own projects before they go to the intended recipient, so I was happy to get this sent to me in my inbox. I've named him "Turkey Frank 2.0". Why 2.0? Well, I made myself one last Thanksgiving, so this is the new and improved version now living in New York!


My sister and I are planning a big shopping trip on Black Friday. I was never brave enough living up North to shop on that day, but found that down here it's much calmer - kinda like a typical shopping day up in NY. So, we'll see what deals we can find!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
