Turkey Lurkey Time!!

..is actually a song from the Broadway musical “Promises, Promises”..who knew?! Awesome!! :) Anywho..HOW is it December already??!! Seriously.

Matt and I enjoyed a very busy, action packed, fun-filled, friends and family spent, good ole’ extended weekend! It all started on Wednesday. Matt had the day off, so him and his dad and Clay all headed to lake fork to play golf, (have I mentioned how much I HATE golf??!!) I had to work! Luckily I got to leave a little early around 4ish, and I just caught up on some TIVO, and waited for Mattie to get home. We went to dinner at Outback that night, and made a mad dash to WalMart to pick up a few items for Thanksgiving day. Thursday (Turkey Day), I awoke and got busy in the kitchen, making corn casserole and sopapilla chessecake (this will make more sense in a bit). ;) Around noon, we headed to my dad’s to spend our first Thanksgiving meal with The Ferguson’s!!

God Love Em’!!!

Around 2:30ish, Matt and I loaded up and headed to Matt’s parents, to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!! (AKA The Bobo Family Thanksgiving) Ha! You did not misread..Matt’s parents in all good intentions, decided to have a Mexican Fiesta, because they thought we’d all be sick of turkey and dressing by the time we got to their house..ummm, WRONG!! I literally was almost brought to tears when I heard the news!! PawPaw makes the BEST dressing, and it’s something I look forward to every year!! So needless to say, MeeMaw promised we’d never have Mexican again on Thanksgiving! ;) {It actually was really good though} but their children, were none to pleased!! :)

this was the only picture I got of the Bobo Fiesta, I sooo wish I had taken pictures of the spread!  We spent the evening watching football and playing games, and left oooo so late around 11!! What a great Thanksgiving we had; So blessed to be surrounded and loved by such an amazing family!!

On Friday, Matt was off to golf, AGAIN, while I drove to Mel’s, grabbed her, mom, & Addi, and we all headed off for Shreveport. We spent the day braving Black Friday, had lunch at Superior {YUMMY}, and after a looong tiring day, headed back to ViewTown. That evening, I waited for Matt to get home, and Colleen to get into town. We had a full weekend planned, so Colleen came in to stay with us. Around 9ish we set out for the 3rd Annual Young Post-Thanksgiving Bonfire!!

After an even looonger evening, Matt & I, Colleen & Ryan, and Ryan’s friend Brent all ended up at Waffle House in the wee hours of the morning, before calling it a day! Saturday bright and early, I finished up a few last minute errands and details, in preparations of one of my closest and dearest, Ginger’s baby shower, that I along with 5 others were hosting that day! Around noon, I headed back over to Mel’s to set up for the shower, along with Ashley and Ambo! The shower started at 1, and I thought it ended up great!! Lots of girls, lots of yummy treats, and Reese racked up on some awesome gifts!!

The adorable diaper cake that Ashley made for Reese! Gin, I was honored to help host the shower for you, and I can’t wait to meet that sweet beautiful baby girl..just not on Christmas day!! :)

After the shower, I came home and tried to relax a little, while Matt was out hitting GOLF balls at the range with Blaine, Colleen had already come back to the house and got a good nap in, so once we all got back to the house, we all just sat around before Ryan came over and we left for dinner at Fritz’s. Afterwards, and several failed attempts to make it a movie night, Matt and I called it a night. Sunday was a day of trying to relax, take down my fall stuff, which by the way is still in my living room and not a single Christmas thing has made it’s way up.. Matt and I had lunch at Chili’s, watched a little football, and that was the conclusion of our extended holiday weekend. Today was crazy busy as an apartment complex always is at the first of the month. Here’s looking for a calmer rest of the week, I doubt that’s gonna happen though.. I know the next time I turn around it will be Christmas, and I’m soooo not ready for that!!

Until Next Time!
