We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My husband even got to be home for it, and we were so thankful! EB and I spent Thursday morning in the bed watching the parades and then we went to my aunt’s house for dinner. The food was glorious, amazing, exceptional, etc. My aunt makes the best cornbread dressing ever ever ever. We’re all stuffed. We’ve had our Thanksgiving naps. And besides Ole Miss losing the Egg Bowl today (it sent my dad to his bed because he was so sick over it), we had an eggcellent Thanksgiving.  Here are the Thanksgiving leftovers!

I wanted to share some pictures of my aunt’s house. This woman has STUFF, but she makes it look like something out of Southern Living. The tables were beautifully decorated, as was the whole kitchen.

She collects old children’s toys and has a whole room in her house that looks like a vintage toy store. Of course EB was in heaven, but I was a nervous wreck that he might break something.

Even her yard is beautiful. Check out the bottle tree!

EB had a great time running around out there, but I had to make him come inside after just a few minutes. It was one of the coldest Thanksgivings I can remember. We’re usually in short sleeves. And besides EB gleefully pointing out to the entire family that I had boobs (and patting them for good measure) it was a great day!

I’m still stuffed.

    That’s amazing! My husband and I are collectors, so we can relate. It’s a disease, I often joke. With us being total geeks, it’s boxes and boxes of comics, action figures, etc.

    That Rambo lunch box is pretty sweet, lol!

    I like the bottle tree. I’ve always wanted one.

    Thanks for the link to my blog. My husband is in Korea right now. I’m in Alabama. I’m a Mississippi girl originally and a 1998 graduate of MSU.

    Whoa, your aunt DOES have a lot of stuff.

    (And all I can think is — who dusts it all? LOL!)
