it's only appropriate to write a thankful thursday post for thanksgiving, right? here are a few things i've been thankful for this thanksgiving weekend:
1. our brand new nephew!
the husband got a call on tuesday morning saying his sister was headed to the hospital, so we packed in a frenzy and rushed to dallas. a little over 24 hours later, benjamin made his debut into the world! 24 hours, y'all. that's just brutal. but, we'll never forget the thanksgiving we spent in and out of the hospital celebrating his arrival. we're so glad he's finally here!! he's such a cutie (can you even handle those chubby cheeks?!) and we're so pumped to be his favorite aunt and uncle!
2. sweatpants.
i think sweatpants were made for thanksgiving. cozy, stretchy, baggy... they're perfect (okay, they're perfect for everyday, but definitely on turkey day). this was my first thanksgiving at the brister house, and let's just say, i'm still full. thanks for way too much good food, bristers!
3. facetime.
one of the best parts of getting married is gaining a family, but one of the hardest parts is not being with your family on holidays. this was my first thanksgiving not to see my family, and while i loved being with the in-laws (especially little ben!), i sure missed my fam. so to whoever invented facetime, thank you!! it made my weekend to see them... eh... screen-to-screen.
4. auburn.
it's no secret auburn was TERRIBLE this season... and today's iron bowl performance was no exception. i mean, it just hurts. but... i still wore my auburn shirt proudly. it's still great to be an auburn tiger. i wouldn't trade it for anything. war eagle.
5. christmas season.
the end of thanksgiving weekend means the beginning of christmas season. while i'm not really into the black friday madness, i'm super into christmas music and christmas decorations. both are in full swing in our apt and i couldn't be happier about it.
hope you had a great thanksgiving! what are you thankful for this week?
