The Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone. We arrived in Vegas last Wednesday and stayed until Sunday. It started with Dominic’s first karate lesson from Grandpa and ended with my hubby and I splitting billiard wins at a British pub. The time in-between was spent laughing and eating with friends and family. Thanksgiving Day itself always consists of football and food, which is lucky for my husband and I because we love both equally. My favorite foods that I look forward to each year are the German dumplings, yams with tons of marshmallows, and most recently: my husband’s deep-fried turkey injected with Creole butter.
My mother-in-law and I decided to brave the midnight sales on Black Friday, rather than waiting until the morning. It was quite crazy at Target and Walmart, so we decided to head out to The Fashion Show Mall, where I discovered Topshop will be opening the first West Coast location in the spring of 2012 (so excited). I somehow managed to purchase some boots in the midst of the mall madness, and then later scored some awesome sunnies from Mango (the style chosen by my husband). After the craziness of Friday morning and afternoon, we settled in for my mother-in-law’s birthday. It’s always the weekend prior to Thanksgiving, so she likes to celebrate it during the holiday because everyone is in town.
On Saturday, I was able to meet up with my best friend, Janice, who was in town for the Janet Jackson concert. After we grabbed a few drinks at the Paris hotel, my hubby and I were able to spend some couple time by heading to one of his favorite pubs called Crown & Anchor. He knew I would enjoy it because it’s a British pub where they serve the national fare like fish & chips and bangers & mash, plus they know how to make a good Shandy (recipe to come). We played a few games of pool, which we surprisingly split (he usually annihilates me). All in all, it was another chaotic, relaxing, and family-fun-filled Thanksgiving. Here’s to next year!
