I love food {and shopping}


Thanksgiving was splendid. : )
As planned, I ate much.
But maybe not as much as my niece, Ruby. She is a champion eater. I kid you not.


Homemade hot apple cider...


Be still, my heart!


I LOVE MASHED POTATOES. The end.


Heavenly white rolls... shiny with butter.


We eat our sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top.
Every year.


Pumpkin cream pie that I made...
 Despite the many sufferings during its construction, it turned out yummy. 


It would not be Thanksgiving without candles!



I took family pictures of my brother and his family for their Christmas card.
We are all very excited that Ruby now has enough hair for a pigtail.



Virginia Grace. 


I love this kid.

Black Friday shopping today? Oh yes. But not quite so hard-core as the last couple years.
We didn't get out of the house until close to 7:00 AM, and only went to two stores.
I didn't buy anything for myself. *halo*
I am seriously going to start a Black Friday savings account or something... 
every year I wish I had a wad of money to blow.
Did any of you get super-awesome deals?

  8. I heard about your pie, I'm jealous, Katelyn and Daniel raved about it today. :)
    I went shopping, starting at 5 am for Black Friday, we hit 7 stores!!! The most I've ever done and the earliest, we usually don't get out until 9 am. :P
    I wasn't so angelic, they had 1/2 price on DVD's, so I bought Robin Hood and one other for $16.
    That's all I spent, but it was great fun.
    (and I agree, Ruby is a champion eater, especially with ice cream) Great post!!!

    We went Black Friday shopping...lots of fun! I only spent $20. I was so proud of myself. Hehe ;) My sister needed some new sweaters, though and ended up saving over $100! Very sweet! I like the savings account idea. lol
    I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving!

  15. I stay home on Black Friday..... I can't handle the crowds, it makes me very unhappy. That, and the last time I did go shopping on Black Friday, my mom and I got into a fender-bender and it scared the crap out of me.
    I stayed home and shopped on line. :)

  21. Your photos are ama-za-zing. I felt like I was there! I could smell the food! I enjoyed it because I didn't get to go to a Thanksgiving dinner this year.
