Thanksgiving Weekend

Hope y'all had a great start to the week! So last Wednesday we got all packed up and headed to Arkansas for Thanksgiving. We were both so excited to get away from CU for a little bit and spend time with family. We go to AR around 8:30 Wednesday night and headed to Copeland's for dinner. Taylor has been craving that for awhile so he was very excited!

Thursday was a nice and relaxing day. We slept in, had a yummy breakfast, and then stuffed ourselves all afternoon with turkey, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and all those delicious Thanksgiving staples! Julia baked an apple pie from scratch and it was soooo good. I just love apple pie at Thanksgiving.

Before baking...


After!


That night we started working on a 1000 piece puzzle. Before...


Finished!


Friday we woke up and got ready to watch the Arkansas game. I've never gone Black Friday shopping, but I did order some new tights from Gap. They should be here soon and I'm so excited. This was Taylor's main position throughout the game...


Julia and I ran to Dillard's and Old Navy at the beginning of the game, so we missed the first couple touchdowns Arkansas scored, and then when we got back everything kind of went downhill. Ha! I think we might have jinxed them :)


After the game, we headed to Little Rock to watch Taylor's cousin play in his last high school football game. I have not been to a high school football game in over 4 years so it was fun! Saturday Susan, Julia, and I went to Taylor's cousin Kathryn's baby shower. It was so much fun and she got a lot of really great stuff. After the shower, we just spent the rest of Saturday hanging out with family and relaxing.

Sunday we made the 8 hour drive back to CU and got in around 6 after being delayed in traffic for almost an hour. It was such a great weekend and we are so thankful to have wonderful family to spend each holiday with!
Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!
