Thanksgiving Day turned out to be pretty peaceful. We made a ham and other typical thanksgiving food, had a quiet day and took naps. I also ran in the 5K Turkey Trot with some new friends from Church. There was thousands of people running and I definitely definitely am out of shape!!
Dan made that delicious Apple Pie!
Dan and I also bought ourselves an early Christmas present. We've decided to buy just a couple things for both of us for christmas, rather than individual gifts. With the good sales at Target and my discount we got a really nice sewing maching that we've been wanting for awhile. We are such big dorks. We found ourselves shopping at JoAnn's for fabric on Black Friday, rather than hitting up the much more 'cooler' stores at the mall. Now we are both working on making Jackets....we'll have to take pictures of the final product. Let's just say now that Dan's jacket looks like a dragon slayer jacket....We've also been creative in other areas. We turned an old rolling shelve that we found by the dumpster (sounds sketchy, but it's where everyone in our apt complex leaves their old furniture) into neat looking, cream colored non-rolling shelves.
We also did some upholstering and turned 2 cheap bookcases into upholstered benches with shelving. Dan did an amazing job and even made some hanging drapes for above our bed. I wish we could post pictures. Unfortunately, our fantastic air bed (that we always brag about) also popped this week (contributing to my lack of sleep) and so our bedroom is a disaster. Once we get a new one and fix everything up we'll post the pictures of our new master pieces.
