Well hello there friends!! It’s always hard to get going on a Monday after a holiday – especially one that involved lots of relaxing, eating & indulging in all things holiday!! We managed to squeeze in quite a bit in the few days off we had – here’s what we got up to!

Thanksgiving//
Thanksgiving//
As to be expected we ate a lot this weekend! The turkey was cooked to perfection and the apps that I mentioned last week were a huge hit! My sister outdid herself with a beautiful tablescape and food that was amazing!
But of course we couldn’t just stop with Thanksgiving food. Although I wish I snapped a picture of my BIL making good use of the turkey leftovers and made some Turkey Quesadillas! We had lots of comfort food and if you don’t consider sushi to be a comfort food, then you just haven’t eaten at our favorite place!!
We Watched//
We Watched//
We watched a ton of movies this weekend – I feel less guilty when I know I’ve gotten so much off my to-do list!! Our favorite of the weekend was Creed. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was really well done! Fun fact – I’m obsessed with all the Rocky movies – especially IV! It also didn’t hurt that we watched the movie in the newly renovated Fenway Theaterand the best part is the ticket prices were still at the as pre-renovation! Honorable mention goes to Self/less with Ryan Reynolds. It had similarities to a few other science fiction movies, but I liked that it steered clear of the science portion and dealt with the story more.
We got it done//
We got it done//
I was so happy to put away all things Fall and get into the holiday spirit!! We wrapped, put up our decor & even managed to send out our Holiday Cards! I’ll be sharing them this week! I did most of my shopping online with the exception of Friday afternoon – but I was happy the outdoor mall wasn’t packed! I scooped thisfun plaid topfrom Express for myself, but the rest of my shopping was done on the computer!! And I have to tell you – shopping online is the best!

It sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family, and all of that food sounds and looks so amazing! I wish that we could've gone to the movies at least once over the weekend, but there wasn't a theater close to us. Those seats in that theater, I don't know how you didn't fall asleep during the movie!

I love that coffe mug and what it says. You guys had a yummy foodie weekend. The sandwich with tomato soup and turkey look sooo good. I haven't been to movies in forever and I want to go. Love that top from Express and I must own it too lol. Gorgeous bracelet also. Happy Monday!
Thanks for the sale spots! I've been sooo bad at managing Cyber Monday this year (probably proving I don't need anything – haha). Looks like you had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Turkey quesadillas sound so good and those apple crostini came out so good. Have a good week 🙂
Looks like an awesome weekend and love that plaid top!! Online shopping is the only way to go for me…. crowded places just aren't for me!
LOL – that coffee mug was MADE for me!

Your photos are marvelous and the food looked scrumptious!! Love the family photos!
We have a local movie theater here that had a reno like that with the same kind of seats, nice they didn't raise your prices!
Ironically, I am watching The Today Show and they were just talking about "Creed" as I was reading this! Tamron Hall said Sylvester Stallone should win an Oscar, wonder what you think? Also, they said the five minute fight scene was filmed in ONE TAKE!
I might have to see this!

I can't wait to see your holiday cards!! All that food looks delish, particularly the soup! It's been chilly, damp, and gross here for days so the only thing that sounds good is soup!!
Thanksgiving looks so yummy! I was in Hawaii and didn't get turkey or stuffing…bummer.

mmmmm thanksgiving food is so great! kinda wish i took home leftovers. xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Looks like you had a fabulous holiday weekend!!! That sushi has me craving it…I haven't had some in SO LONG! Yum! And another fellow fan of Creed over here, too. After watching all the Rocky movies recently, I love them, too! They are so good!
Your sister's house looked gorgeous for the holiday, all those photos of your family are beautiful, too! 🙂 I'm so jealous of your fancy movie theater, and I'm glad to hear that Creed was good, I've been intrigued by the previews. Hooray for being finished with holiday cards, I finished mine, too and plan to mail them tomorrow!
You always have the best food around you! 🙂
I would love to see Creed – I never tire of Rocky movies either.
I gotta find a theater where I can melt into a comfy chair!
Um, yes sushi is totally a comfort food! Glad you were productive and relaxed with a movie marathon as well. Those are the best weekends! Creed is on our list of movies to see too.

Wishes & Reality
Looks like so much fun! The table for Thanksgiving is set beautifully, I love it! Online shopping is where it's at!!
What a fantastic weekend! When you posted that picture of the grilled cheese and tomato soup on IG this weekend my mouth literally watered. So delicious!
Enjoy your week!
Love that coffee mug! Looks like the perfect relaxing Thanksgiving weekend! XO
oh no, H&M is having a sale + free shipping? that is so dangerous. i am trying to be good, i spent so much on thursday / friday, mainly online. the sales were too good! good to know about the ryan reynolds movie, i wanted to watch it and KC did not. oh man, sushi is so a comfort food! i have been craving my favourite place for ages now, looks like we'll have to make it happen soon. love the photos of you and your family from thanksgiving!
Yum!!! Sushi on Thanksgiving? I need to come visit your family! I love it!! 😉 it really does feel great to wrap up Fall and get out all the holiday decoration!!!!
Everything looks so great!! I've heard really good things about Creed, but I haven't seen the other Rocky movies, so a lot of it might be lost on me. Have a great week!
That theater looks awesome! There are a few in this area like that, but I haven't been. Love that you got a lot of family time. It's the best.
And yes to sushi being comfort food. It's definitely one of mine.
Your thanksgiving dinner with family sounds amazing and the turkey looks huge. Perfect for lots of leftovers and to recreate different recipes. I'd love to try the sushi at your favorite place. What's your favorite roll? I always go for the volcano rolls and switch up the rest.
I feel so behind on holiday cards! You're the second person I've read about who's gotten out their cards. We just got ours taken Saturday and finalized Sunday. We just ordered ours. I can't wait to see them! I'm sure they'll beautiful!
Your thanksgiving is definitely one I'm envious of. Sushi, turkey quesdillas and everything in the pictures? I need that in my life. Kyle and I almost considered eating chinese food for Thanksgiving just to change things up.
I did so much shopping on Black Friday, and I'm checking out places today for finishing up some Christmas shopping, thank god for sales because I spent a good chunk of money already.

Looks like you guys had the best time! And that coffee cup is amazing!
Yum, all that food looks delicious! I love the idea of using leftover turkey for turkey quesadillas. I totally think sushi is comfort food. 🙂
Turkey quesadillas are a great idea! And sushi can be true comfort food 😉 The place you go always looks delish!
Looks like a really nice Thanksgiving! My mom and I spent a few hours out on Friday morning, and the mall wasn't too terribly crowded. However, I finished up almost everything today with online shopping! Gotta love those cyber monday deals!
I totally failed on getting pictures of people this weekend! I think I just had too much food on the brain. Your meal and time looked amazing, and I've been excited for Creed so you just added to that. Happy Cyber Monday!
Thanksgiving looks like it was perfect! I am still stuffed. So jealous your cards are ready to mail…I still haven't gotten mine finished. Have a great week!
All that food looks amazing! Now I want pecan pie!! Glad you had a great Thanksgiving!
These are all awesome pictures… you are seriously so beautiful!!!! 😀
Your sister did an AWESOME job with the table… I love the little pumpkins!!
I'm totally intrigued by Selfless. Good enough to see in the theater or wait until it's at Redbox???
Your Thanksgiving looked amazing and I love how your table decor!!

I absolutely love that mug – so perfect 🙂 Your spread and table both look aaaamazing!! Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I do my shopping online as well! I feel like I didn't spend anywhere close to what I actually did since they haven't come in yet haha. That food looks so yummy, can it be Thanksgiving again this week?

I'm so jealous your cards are done! Every year I send mine out the day after Thanksgiving and we were traveling this year, so I haven't even gotten our photos taken yet! EEEK!
Creed is on our list of things to see!

The tablescape and turkey were beautiful for your dinner! Love that theater! Rocky IV is my favorite, too! So I'm really itching to see Creed! Hope you had a great week! xo, Champagne&Suburbs
