I'm curled up on my couch, sipping on left-over, re-heated, mulled cider from Thanksgiving and reflecting on what a fun time it was. I got to spend some much-needed time with my mom. We were between the kitchen and various grocery stores for most of the time, but man, it was way easier to cook Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people with her help. Practice makes perfect I guess! Our dinner was lovely and so much fun.
Ma and me on Thanksgiving. (That's Jamie's new baby, Remi, that I'm holding!)
It was a great, great day. I feel thankful that I got to cook and invite friends to be a part of it all!
We also celebrated Andrew and Jamie's birthday and had such an amazing dinner in the city, followed by drinks with friends. Andrew said it was the best birthday he's ever had. How awesome is that?
My gift to him was a new record player and the start of what I'm sure will be a huge collection of vinyl. He was really surprised and is now "DJing" every minute that he's at home!
This is my new favorite photo of us. It was a really happy night with lots to celebrate!
And here's one of the birthday twins. Here's to a great new year!
Now it's almost Christmas and I'm along for the ride! I'm going to embrace the holiday-ness this year. Looking forward to getting out of the city and heading to the mountains, seeing family and spending time with friends. Then once it's over, I'll allow myself to have my "count down to spring" attitude.
More soon!
Great pictures Linsday! I'm so happy it all turned out wonderful. I expected nothing less. That puppy is adorable! I can't wait to see you, counting down the days. By the way, when exactly will you be here? Send me a text! Love you!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsay...Just catching up on your blog. As always I am inspired! Your Thanksgiving was so lovely and I am so glad that I was able to be a part of it and share the Holiday with you, Andrew and Trinni. I have always been so proud of you and spending time in your neighborhood this visit was amazing. You have really made a home for yourself in Brooklyn.
