November According to my Iphone

November was busy and unfortunately I failed to capture most of the fun.  These photos provide a not so great summary of the month, but it's a summary nonetheless.  I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving!  We sure did! We did a potluck style dinner with most of our closest friends, ate until we were stuffed, watched a bit of football, and chatted until bedtime when we all headed home for the night.  I just finished the last piece of Pumpkin pie last night. 

Let's get started shall we?

I started the month off right with a holiday drink from Starbucks because nothing symbolizes the holidays for me like a red Starbucks cup.

I tried authentic Ethiopian food for the first time.  It was really yummy although not using utensils was interesting.  I'm not a huge fan of sticky fingers! The food is served with a sponging bread which you use to scoop up your meal and put it into your mouth.  Richie loved it!

Our Vacuum broke.  I tried unsuccessfully to fix it.

I became obsessed with chandeliers, including this beautiful one which hangs in our friend's kitchen.

My parents came for a visit and the three of us (and our two Yorkies) drove to Ashville to walk through the Biltmore mansion.

Lilly and Bentley were so excited to reunite!  They loved their daily walks together.

While Richie stayed at the hotel Saturday night we watched a Hallmark movie together. (This is my moms absolute favorite holiday season pastime.) Yes, Lilly liked it too.

My poor dad had to suffer through an entire day of SHOPPING!

We all attended the Monday night Panther vs. the Patriots game and celebrated another Panther win!

We celebrated the win at our favorite restaurant, Cowbell, with victory milkshakes even though the game didn't end until after midnight. 

We had some beautiful fall weather and lovely sunsets.

After going through two more vacuum disasters this little beauty is now living with us.  It is just right for our little apartment.

Richie and I began the difficult process of picking out wood floor and stain colors for our new home.  We drove 40 minutes to get our hands on these little samples.

We narrowed it down to two colors.

And we ended the month with a lot of baking and a WHOLE LOT of eating!

I'm still practicing my pie skills but I will admit that this little baby tasted AMAZING!!

I promise to be better this month about blogging! 

Thank you for checking in!
