We went to North Carolina for the week to stay with Kevin's family, and didn't really do a whole lot besides eat and hang out. The one thing we did do that I was so excited about was visit my friends Nick and Lindsay, who just had twins. Brooke and Bryce were soooooo cute! The only bad part about that trip (which should have taken two hours) was that we did it during Charlotte rush hour. Not a good idea. We tried to be very patient in the traffic, but after it was all said and done we drove four hours to go to dinner. Totally worth it though.
Kevin's brother and his daughter also went to Chapel Hill for a few days. I don't think they had been together on Thanksgiving since like 2004, so everyone was pretty excited and happy about that. 
Thanksgiving dinner pretty much came from Whole Foods this year. I don't shop there at home simply due to the cost and my love of bargain shopping, but let me tell ya- it was good. I think we went to Whole Foods three times in two days, and I was in heaven just looking at all of the delicious good food there. And we might have bought a case of wine for the week too. I tried to post a picture of Kevin and his turkey, but it wouldn't post for some reason. I was pretty impressed! They are the kind of people who actually cook from scratch, unlike me who buys stuff pre-made. For example, they needed vegetable stock so they made it. To me making it means buying it in a box. I'm getting better though....
During the week we also visited with some friends and family, went to a planetarium (which I hadn't done since I was a kid), and went Christmas tree shopping. Everyone I know has a fake one, so that was kind of fun! I think I'm going to get a baby one this year for my condo, since we have TWO weeks off for Christmas and New Years, and I get to go home!! Can't. Wait.
