Thanksgiving-ed OUT

I had my fourth (and final) Thanksgiving celebration today! Trust me, I love me some Thanksgiving, but celebrating four times in two weeks may be is definitely overkill. 

I kept this one nice and simple though. Turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, stuffing, and dessert. Since the kitchen was already in war-zone mode, I also made two loaves of challah for the cousins to take back to school (and to prove to myself that I have the patience and skillz to make challah).

I made a pumpkin pie and an apple crostata last night. Jules is right, you can't go wrong with the classics. I used the recipe off of the condensed milk can for the pumpkin pie and it's the best!

Our simple spread - the cousins brought over some curried chicken puff pastries that were phenom (think mini curried chicken pasties).

And then everyone went out to go shopping, which was the last thing I wanted to do, so I stayed and cleaned a bit and attempted to take a nap. 

I say attempted because while I was laying down, Marco got all up in my face and slept on it. It was fine because he's adorable, but I am still allergic to cats, so I'm currently paying for it with a pair of itchy eyeballs. 

Also, I'm pictured above wearing my new cardigan that came from my first CottonOn order! LOVE it! It's so soft and for $12.50, it's a steal! I'm glad I got one in black too! Everything I ordered worked out, except I found a tiny hole in the black leggings I ordered (but for $6, whadduya expect), but it's fixable. The lace sweetheart oxblood dress I ordered fits like a dream! Can't wait to find an excuse (and a day off) to wear it somewhere!
