Thanksgiving in the Mid West

I don't know about you guys but Thanksgiving break for me is all about eating, eating, rolling in the snow, shopping and well more eating! It's tradition for me to trek out to the mid west and spend it with family or friends and this year was no different. It was my first time going to Minnesota and I absolutely loved it! My friend's family was so welcoming and all the sights just made me feel so cozy (yes I know I say that word a lot!) Anywhoos here are some pictures from my snow-cookie-puppy filled adventures!


Friends, Pups, and Pies- not a bad way to celebrate Turkey Day!
Went to visit my friend's honorary uncle and aunt after dinner (whom I love and now call my honorary uncle and aunt) and I just thought it was so wonderful that they spent time to do this. It's easy to remember the big things but being thankful for the little things is what makes life so wonderful.  

Woke up the next morning to these little guys annnd A LOT of snow! I LOVE snow!

Spent the day making Christmas cookies and having a Friends marathon in pjs

Leaving my mark at the Mall of America

Loved this little shop, it had a lot of great organic and tasty food items

Adored one of the cathedrals, this altar reminds me of the one in the Vatican, so beautiful!
Went to the sculpture garden and got a spoonful of cherry!

Little Guy oogling my cookie, down boy, down!

And well we all know what this time of year means...Christmas! I love Christmas time!! I have another tradition, which is to put up my tree the weekend after Thanksgiving and I did so with my family...well via Skype but with the fam-bam nonetheless :)

Don't lie *NSYNC's Christmas album is a part of your Christmas music repertoire!

 *What are some of your holiday traditions?
