Happy Monday! I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is behind us and December is almost here! I'm enjoying my last week at home in Indiana, helping my mother get back on her feet after her surgery. {cv} sadly headed back to Rhode Island yesterday, but we had a great visit while he was here :) Here are a few photos from the weekend via instagram, which I'm linking up over at a {little} dash of ash!
We watched one of my two favorite holiday movies, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and roared with laughter...as always ;) {My other favorite is Home Alone...let me indulge my inner eight-year-old!}
{cv} showed me up in the kitchen, yet again, and made an absolutely gorgeous apple pie
for our Thanksgiving feast. I count my blessings for a husband who likes to cook--and accepts
that I'm still learning ;)

My parents' new puppy Cleo made this festive weekend even more fun--I couldn't get over the picture of her smothering {cv} with kisses. We'll get a dog once we're in a house, but until then, my little "sister" Cleo will have to do!
I don't know about you, but my favorite way to start getting in the holiday spirit is with a movie...so I was happy to kick off this year with Christmas Vacation ;) Next up--the tree!
We watched Christmas Vacation as well- it's a holiday must!! Have a great Monday! xo
