Happy Monday friends!! It feels good to be back after the long weekend & feels really good to be kicking the holiday season into high gear! This Thanksgiving weekend was perfectly relaxing with a lot of to-do’s marked off the list!! Here’s a few snaps of it all…
We celebrated Thanksgiving at my sister’s house with a lot of people! We actually had two turkey’s and for someone that isn’t that big of a turkey fan I think I realized that preparation is the most important part!! My BIL brined one of the turkey’s for more than 24 hours and then the other turkey we had was fried and wouldn’t you know – tasted just like bacon! I also ended up making these apps – verdict – devoured by all!
THE REST ||
THE REST ||
I worked a half day on Friday, which flew by and I was on the couch devouring the first episode of the new Gilmore Girls on Netflix! I did take advantage of some of the sales – scored these OTK boots and this dress for 50% off from Ann Taylor! We had an impromptu double date with our friends at Fireplace followed by some intense games of Fibbage – have you played this yet?
I realize the crab cakes look like big globs – but trust me – they were delicious!
One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is to see the big tree in Faneuil Hall – it’s always a sight and I honestly wonder where they find trees that big – must be deep in the forest!
The most photographed street in Boston – Acorn Street!
When I say that I have zero celeb juju – I mean I’ve never run into anyone famous! To see John Kerry walking home (with secret service) from the store was pretty cool! Thankfully Gary wasn’t too shy to ask if he would take a photo with me and I’m happy to report he was super nice & didn’t seem to bothered by it!
The holiday cards were stuffed, addressed & ready to be sent!
We started planning our next trip – the Pacific Coast Highway for my birthday in March! If you’ve been, have friends that have done it or have any suggestions – please let me know!
It’s weekends like these that have me ready to tackle the week ahead – well that and a little caffeine! How was your weekend? Link up below to share!

Seriously where do they find ginormous trees like that? lol But how beautiful and perfect for Holiday photo backdrop. The spread at your sister's Thanksgiving looks amazing especially me being a huge cheese person and I love the table set up. Such a gorgeous family you have and so much to be thankful for!
You gorgeous beauty!!! Look at your family, love the pic of you, your sis and mom and dad…the sweetest!!! And that tree, so festive and both you…holiday dolls I tell ya! That purse in the coffee shot of you, very cute and great color. I am tickled you and such a great long weekend, yes, it will be hard going back today for sure!! Hope it is great for you!!

I'm officially hungry now after seeing all that amazing food, what a beautiful spread! And love that the foliage is still hanging on, so pretty! Too funny you ran into John Kerry, funnily enough I ran into him in Boston too several years ago at the Harvard Med School graduation since his daughter was in the graduating class. I had no idea he was so tall in person! Looks like your celeb juju is changing! Cheers to a fabulous week <3

You and your sister are so GORGEOUS! Love the place setting. I love Acorn street but that cobblestone is no joke. That is so neat that you ran into John Kerry! I walk by his street all the time but have never ran into him. Maybe one day.
I think I know why that Acorn Street is the most photographed street in Boston – it's gorgeous! It looks like you had such a great Thanksgiving with your family this year. Those appetizers look absolutely delicious! Happy Monday 🙂
Looks like you had a great Thanksgiving weekend! Happy holidays! I just love this time of year 🙂

Love your sister's table setup, so pretty! You two look so much like both of your parents, it's unreal! Usually kids look like one of the other, but y'all have a great mix of both of them. Gorgeous gals!
So glad y'all had a great Thanksgiving, the food all looks so yummy!
I saw on the Today show when they were getting the tree for the Rockefeller Center in NYC…it came from someone's backyard! Crazy right!?!

That tree is so massive- I love it! It looks like you picked up some great deals in the sales this weekend and I'm sure it feels so good to have all your cards ready to be sent out! Love that you got that picture with John Kerry! I actually ran into him the first time I was in DC with John McCain before they both ran for President. Your Thanksgiving sounds amazing– that's such a great family photo of the four of you guys!
I absolutely love that last photo of you – so cute! How awesome that you ran into John Kerry. Glad you had a good holiday weekend, girl!
Looks like a great holiday weekend! I love that you got a picture with John Kerry. That's so cool. I want to do the PCH so so bad. My cousin & I talked about making that our next trip, I also had wanted to do it with a different friend this coming March but now he won't be home so that won't be happening.
I love John Kerry is carrying his own bags 🙂 So cool!!!!
That dip in the little squash is the cutest idea!!!
That picture of your family is precious. Such a beautiful gang.
Looks like y'all had a great Thanksgiving weekend! I showed my fiance the snap of that Boston street and said can we please go there and he said absolutely! If we take a trip, definitely going to ask for advice from you! So pretty. And loved your Thanksgiving look!

The tree looks like it's every bit as big as the one in Rockefeller Center! WOW!!
And how fun that you're taking a trip up the Pacific Coastal Highway! It was a bucket list item of mine to ride up it in a convertible and we checked that off of my list back in 2014 when we drove from Malibu to Ojai for my cousin's wedding. It is STUNNING. You guys are going to have a blast!
That's so cool you ran into John Kerry! And I JUST ordered my Christmas cards and can't wait to get them so I can start addressing- I just love doing calligraphy!

I love your sister's festive plates! And that photo of Acorn Street is beautiful; how funny that you ran into John Kerry! I also have ZERO celeb juju. No fun!
I never wanted to be your friend more than I did last weekend haha your snaps, the food, the atmosphere, your hair! Gah you killed it! Glad ya'll had a fabulous weekend and holiday!
How cool is that, that you you were able to take a photo with John Kerry, such a humble little story how you bumped into him! Girl, the food in the first pic looks out of this world delicious. I'm telling you, you know all the spots and great food, was this from Thanksgiving or the double date!? My goodness it look sooooo good! Thanks so much for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you have the most amazing week ahead!

How cool to see John Kerry! I get so shy around celebs I usually just say hi and get too nervous to ask for a photo. Mind you, I haven't met a ton of celebs. lol Mostly tv show people. Sounds like you had a wonderful holiday! (:
I thought I commented on this yesterday…womp womp. Your Thanksgiving weekend looks amazing! First off you and your sister are gorgeous and I am loving the table settings she had. Where did she get those plates?! How cool you ran into John Kerry and got a picture with him! Acorn street is now on my list of must visit places. Hope you have a great week, girl! xo Beautifully Candid
What a fun holiday weekend, doll! LOVE the shots of Boston- that tree is amazing and Acorn Street is so pretty- and sounds like you had several incredible meals! 🙂

Two turkeys? Sounds like my mom! She buys a HUGE bird so they have leftovers. It's so crazy to me. Your apps sound delish! I may need to make for one of our holiday shindigs! Did you finish all of GG or just Winter?
Looks like you had an awesome Thanksgiving!! Great pics! XO –

That's crazy you ran into him! I always freak out when I see celebs, haha! I once saw Reese Witherspoon in Nashville eating tacos with her family like it was NO BIG DEAL 😉 I couldn't bring myself to ask her for a photo…I mean Nashville locals are so used to it so no one was approaching her. I couldn't keep my cool 😉 I'm so glad you and your family had a great Thanksgiving!!
I love that you ran into John Kerry. Awesome!
The apps look fabulous, and I love the family photos from Thanksgiving!
Your Thanksgiving weekend looks so relaxing, your family is adorable! I love that you had a John Kerry sighting – so random and cool. Have fun planning your pacific coast highway tour! It's something I've always wanted to do. We made it down the WA and part of the OR coast this summer – so gorg!

We kept it simple because it was just the two of us… then took a little roadtrip to Maryland to help my SIL move! Yeah, that wasn't that fun! lol
All that yummy food oh my gosh!! And I am dyyyying to do the Pacific coast highway. I can't wait to hear how it goes!
