Thanksgiving-table

1. We spent a week in Lodi, California visiting Josh’s family for Thanksgiving. The holiday was perfect. We ate too much and watched a lot of football! And check out my sister-in-law’s table scape. Nice, huh? We all wrote on the tablecloth what we were thankful for. She is going to use the same tablecloth every year! Love this tradition!

2. We drove to Apple Hill and enjoyed some apple donuts. They had apples in them so they were totally healthy. Plus, calories don’t count on vacation:)

5. We didn’t have much time, but enough time to enjoy treats at Tartine Bakery! Love that place!

6. We are happy to be home, but I am struggling getting back into the swing of things. December is a crazy month so I should get my butt in gear, but all I really want to do is sit on the couch and watch holiday movies. What is your favorite holiday movie? I need to make a list so I can start my holiday movie marathon!

7. I know I am supposed to eat lots of salad the week after Thanksgiving, but all I really want to do is eat a pan of Salted Nutella Shortbread Bars.

8. Love this Christmas Tree Cheese Board for holiday parties.

  1. Totally with you on the tree. I’m thinking of doing no ornaments this year. Kay loves the tree so much shes always over near it and I”m afraid all our ornaments will break…maybe just lights and a tree topper this year 😉

  2. I’m so thrilled that you read the Guernsey book!! Isn’t it the best?! I think I was the person who recommended it! 🙂

  3. Love San Francisco! My husband is purchasing a business outside of San Fran. Love the area! What part is Josh from? Glad you had a good Thanksgiving.

  4. I am right there with you with wanting to just sit on the couch & watch holiday movies! In fact, I may have done just that the past three days…Now I need to clean house and finally unpack from Thanksgiving vacation! I also am having trouble eating healthy. It seems I have no desire to dirty up my kitchen & have been eating out a lot lately.

  5. I lived in SF for 10 years! Best city! Also ready the Guernsey book – perfect read for a vacation!

  6. The first Christmas that my son became a toddler, I packed away all the glass ornaments and replaced them all with wooden ones.

  7. I seriously need to get a book to read. But it seems I have no time lately. And Grey’s I am like 5 weeks behind on episodes and haven’t even started Parenthood!!

  8. Have y’all watched Prep and Landing with Caleb yet? It is a short Disney Christmas special that comes on around this time of year. I love it so much that I bought the DVD. It makes me laugh every time I watch it. There is a sequel but it wasn’t nearly as good.

  9. Just went and bought the Cookie Cravings Digital Package, and then immediately went through it all – SO awesome! Can’t wait to bake up some delicious cookies!

  10. I kind of figured that Josh’s family must live somewhere around me from your previous travel post. And today I see the first picture with Impact Sports and go it has to be Lodi and it is. I wish I could of seen you guys there because I’m such huge fans. Glad you got to enjoy those cider donuts, isn’t Apple Hill the best. I really look forward to reading your “This & That” posts each week, keep up the good work. 🙂
