Early Thanksgiving Among Friends

Sweater: H&M, Leggings: Ann Taylor LOFT, Boots: Kohl's

 Today the roommates and I celebrated an early Thanksgiving among some friends. The day was spent cooking, cooking, and more cooking. I have to say though, it was well worth it. 

Menu:

Stuffed Celery
Deviled Eggs
Veggies with Ranch Dip
Mango Chutney Glazed Ham 
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Squash Casserole
Brussel Sprouts with Shallots and Bacon

My roommate Liz and I really busted it out today and made an amazing meal. Dessert was prepared by our guests and was smack your momma good! They brought crepe cake with egg custard and chocolate ganache and  pumpkin pie.The table was set so beautifully and the boyfriend did an amazing job picking out yellow roses for some ambiance.

I figured that I would be eating a lot today, so I chose my outfit accordingly. I found this oversized sweater at H&M for $14.95, such a deal. There are so many ways to wear it and I thought it looked fabulous with leggings and over the knee boots.

I wish that I was going to be spending Thanksgiving with my family in Florida, but it is so difficult (not to mention, expensive) to travel during the holidays. They will be in my thoughts though! Any good plans for your Thanksgiving? Favorite Thanksgiving dish??

too-da-loo :)

Bare with me till I am able to purchase better camera...but oh well! I am very lucky to work for a fantastic woman that is willing to take my picture for me! (Thanks, Al!!) Thursday we spent the day at Hippo Playground with the kids (I work in a house with 7 kids, yes 7). The weather was amazing and the kids were ecstatic, Mcdonalds always does the trick!

This is not my favorite outfit, but I thought hey...I need to practice these posts! Trying to get my god daughter, Ileana, to cooperate in the first picture was not the easiest feat. That baby has a mind of her own, a quality I LOVE about her. When it was time to go she absolutely refused...refused. You know when your mom would pull that trick of "alright...we are gonna leave...see ya later!" and you would fall for it every time??? Well, not this little one. She stood her ground, arms crossed and all. She does not fall for these tricks. I love her for that!
