I can't believe it is almost Christmas, which means this post is really late, but I have been a crazy woman running around and packing for our Florida trip next week. Also, my computer was acting up and thanks to my wonderful husband, he installed a new, bigger & better hard drive and now it's like a brand new machine.
Anyways, back to Thanksgiving... I had to work the day before and day after, which isn't exactly a good schedule for traveling to Lafayette to see both families, so we decided to host at our house! This was my second time cooking a turkey this year and thankfully it was a success! Meal planning was tricky bc Thanksgiving fell on day 15 of my Whole30 challenge, so everything had to be gluten free, dairy free, sugar free and alcohol free :( Even with all of the rules, I think it turned out pretty great! And we had some of the good, standard turkey day food for everyone else not being tortured by the diet. Maybe everyone else thought it was gross, who knows, but they didn't tell me that :)
After work on Friday, we headed to Lafayette for a dinner out w/ friends and then another Thanksgiving day celebration on Saturday with Darin's family. We ended the weekend with a trip to Indy with our friends Tait & Natalie to sit in the second row, on the 40 yard line at the Colts game, which was SO fun. Watching football that close is a totally different experience. We sat on the opposing side, so the players were all upset b/c they were losing pretty badly. A few helmets were thrown and several cuss words could be heard... :) It was a great Christmas present for us!
