Hello, blog. I've missed you.

It's been a while since my last post. Sorry about that. Life and laziness got in the way.

My trip to New York was just what I needed. Family time, family time, and more family time. I pretty much have the best family in the world ... seriously.

The weather was so gorgeous in New York that we decided to have Thanksgiving dinner outside. It was such a nice change from the formal dining room. We set our table on our patio, lit a fire in our pit, and bundled up just a tad to keep extra cozy.

We watched many friends episodes, played a lot of bored games, cuddled/tortured Reese plenty, and ate our fair share of goodies.

We returned to our Chicago and were reunited with our pup late Saturday night. We missed her terribly but I did my best not to obsess {a big challenge for me}. We spent Sunday running some errands, stocking up on healthy foods, and getting our Christmas tree! It's the perfect little guy - about 5 feet tall, nice and plump.

Now I'm in search of a new tree skirt... that doesn't cost a fortune. Suggestions?

Hope you all had a lovely holiday!!
