Wednesday: I went to breakfast with my best friend Lauren and we caught up- we hadn't seen each other for over two months! We went to Allison's Country Cafe- so delicious! Later I went out to lunch with my cousin Sara and my Grandma Joan to Cafe Fiore downtown. That restaurant was equally delicious and I really enjoyed hearing about Sara's adventures at Colorado State. We then got our traditional gelato- it's absolutely the best. Peanut Butter Gelato is heaven! Later that night I hung out with Evan and we took his cousin Ben to see New Moon- it was my second time and I loved it just as much!
Thursday: Yay! Thanksgiving! My grandma came over and we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from start to finish. I went over to Sara's afterward and helped prepare Thanksgiving dinner- I love cooking! Afterward I went over to Evan's and celebrated with his family. Then I headed over back to the Cook house and we had a great time seeing my little cousins Lexie and Courtney- they grow up so fast! The food was absolutely delicious and I especially loved my mom's famous pumpkin pie! We got in the jacuzzi afterward and relaxed after all that good eating- what a day!
Friday: A day of relaxation. I didn't even go outside- wow. It sounds pathetic but it was much needed.
Saturday: I spent time with my mom and we had fun shopping at Costco- that place can keep you entertained for hours. We met my dad for dinner at Wood Ranch and then we watched the UCLA vs. USC game! It was so boring and uneventful but at least I learned the rules of football finally! Poor Bruins...
Sunday: We went to church and visited my neighbor Betty who is recovering from her fall. She is doing well and I was glad that I got to see her. We went out to dinner with my Grandma Joan to my favorite restaurant- Ferraro's. Not to mention- my Grandma made me peanut butter and jelly cookies as a send off- there is a special meaning behind that. To end the night we started Christmas off right by watching "Christmas Vacation".
As you can tell- it was quite a wonderful weekend! Thanksgiving was everything I hoped it would be- I love this time of year and I am so thankful for my family, friends, health, and happiness.
