Thanksgiving Break

I had a very nice and relaxing Thanksgiving break this year. I'll do a little bulleted list by day (I haven't done that in awhile) of what I did.

Tuesday:
  • Was done with class around 11
  • Met my grandma in Ames at Hickory Park for a late birthday lunch
  • Arrived home around 3ish 
  • Watched 9 episodes of Gilmore Girls

Wednesday:
  • Watched more Gilmore Girls 
  • Finished the new Nicholas Sparks book that I had started while visiting Carina
  • Went to Traci's church for a potato bar with Traci and her parents
  • Went to the movie Courageous with Traci and my mom

Thursday:
  • Went to my grandparents for Thanksgiving and ate and spent time with family
  • Watched many youtube classics with my family which included: Marcel the Shell One and Two; David after the dentist, Charlie bit me, Jimmy Kimmel's-I told my kids I ate all of their Halloween candy, etc. 







Friday:
  • I went Black Friday shopping at midnight (we actually got to Walmart around 11:30) with my mom, grandma, aunt, and 2 cousins. I ended up getting only things for myself- a couple pairs of boots and some dvds. So while that was nice for me-I still have many things to get for others of my list!

  • We got back home around 7 am and then I slept until 2.
  • I started baking some of the recipes that I'd found on pinterest for my friends who were coming over later that night. I made peanut butter brownies, pizza rolls, and buffalo chicken egg roll wraps. I've decided that I really like trying out new recipes to bake and all of them turned out pretty good!



  • Then my friends: Jamie, Tara, Angela, Traci, Deb, and her boyfriend Aaron came over and we ate, chatted, and played some board games. It was a good night overall. I love catching up with my friends from high school and reminiscing! 
  • Then I cleaned up and watched some Gilmore Girls before going to bed

Saturday:
  • I didn't get up until around 11:30 and then watched the Iowa State-Oklahoma game. It wasn't an awful game to watch as ISU actually played ok against a ranked team. Obivously not as good as last week, but still good. The defense did really well-if only the offense would have done a little more.
  • I pretty much just layed around the house-watched some Gilmore Girls, Greek, a Hallmark movie, etc. I also attempted to do some homework/studying, but wasn't super successful.

Sunday:
  • Went to church-saw Tara, Angela, Deb, and Aaron again (along with Kodi and Paige) and chatted with them during the peace
  • Packed up all my stuff and headed to Iowa Falls to pick up pizza on my way to my grandparents
  • At my grandparents Isaac and Carina decorated the tree; parents, grandparents, and I made popcorn balls; my mom and grandparents made cookies; and Isaac, mom, and grandpa made caramels.


 

  • Isaac and I then headed to Ames and stopped at Orange Leaf before I dropped him off at his frat.
  • I then headed to Des Moines and unpacked my stuff and set up my small Christmas tree before I went to Courtney's to watch the new Hallmark channel movie
  • After the movie I went back to DG and chatted with some people before doing some homework.
