We took left LA around 4 pm on Wednesday night to head up to Bakersfield for Thanksgiving. Traffic was brutal. The drive normally takes us about an hour and a half, but it ended up taking us over 3 hours.
We got there in time to eat dinner with my mom, dad, and pie. My mom deep friend raviolis...SO GOOD! We then headed over to a friend from high school's house and met up with a bunch of my best friends. I love getting to see them all at the same time! Pie came with us and although there was a little drama before we left the house, she ended up having fun. Her first time being 21 for the night before Thanksgiving. :)
On Thursday Mike, Stevi & Tate came over for brunch. My mom made Eggs Benedict, my favorite. Again, SO GOOD! We then headed to my Uncle Joey's, which is where we go every year for our Thanksgiving dinner.
I was so tired on Thursday night (I'm not used to staying out late!) so with the turkey, I barely made it home awake! It was fun and I got to meet my cousin's sweet baby girl Emery for the first time! :)
Friday we helped my mom put up Christmas lights and went to lunch at Benji's. Mike, Stevi & Tate came over later for dinner and to take our Christmas card pictures. Tatum was so perfect and so much fun to be around. She is so funny and loves playing with Jeff which is probably the cutest thing ever.
We headed home Saturday afternoon and relaxed Saturday night. Sunday morning I got up and cleaned and unpacked everything, then Sid and I went to pick out our Christmas tree! I got all of the decorations up too! I have to say, I completely forgot how amazing real trees are. I just love the smell so much, and you can get a huge whiff as soon as you walk into the house!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, although I have to say I LOVE CHRISTMAS and am so happy that Jeff finally let me decorate! :)
