thanksgiving sunday.

happy thanksgiving!
to all the canadians, and to anyone else!
because today is our thanksgiving, and it was perrrfect.

my fam came over yesterday and we spent the day talking, laughing, catching up, eating, drinking..
it was just wonderful! & then we had a SLEEPOVVVER! my brothers, and my new (& only) SIS! slept over, we had so much fun. we stayed up and watched SNL. this morning we woke up pretty early, and had a big breaky - bacon, eggs, & fruit! later on we went to the flea market for a bit which was entertaining. & then i baked a batch of cupcakes, obvs.
after all that, we headed over to my aunts for thanksgiving dinner, and a game of intense and competitive family pictionary - hahahaha. (linds - oasis?)

i love my family so much. i have so much fun with them! i was especially happy to see my brothers and sister, because they are so amazinggg. i know linds has been reading my blog (which i think is so cute) so hey sis, you are the coolest :) love ya

some things that i am thankful for ;;


my brother and his new wife / my first ever sister lindsey. how adorable are they?


i'm happy that i am lucky enough to have a big breakfast, and a roof over my head, and good health - so many things that we take for granted on a regular basis


this is my brother dave, i love him so much. i'd honestly hang out with him every day if i could.


baby sophie. she just makes you want to giggle.


my everything. the most amazing woman in the world, my mom.


this boy. he is so perfect, he amazes me everyday. i love him very much.


cupcakes, for being so wonderful and making people happy. and my grandma & grandpa for being together for 62 years (that's why i made the cupcakes) i wish we could all love each other for that long. but in this day in age, it's un heard of. i'm so proud of them!

those are just some things from my thanksgiving this year. i am really am thankful for so much though! i have an amazing family, wonderful boyfriend, and the best friends ever. i am healthy, and happy to be alive. i am travelling and seeing the world like i want to do, i couldn't ask for anything more.

i'm thankful today, and every day, for everyone who makes my life what it is.

saturdaaaaaaay


HAPPY SATURDAY LOVES!

it's such a beautiful autumn day! it just feels and smells like thanksgiving, i love that!
i'm currently listening to metric, and burning my yummy cinnamon pecan swirl candle.

i'm just taking a break from cleaning up my house, because we're having a family day today!
me, my mom, blair, my brothers, my sis!, petey, my favourite aunt & uncle and my cousins are all coming over. it's ross family day and i am so excited because they are the best people ever. & then i get to see the rest of my family tomorrow.
& tomorrow i will do a thanksgiving post :)

i want to do some baking today, but i'm not sure if i'll have time!
here are the cookies i made for my man on monday - cute eh?

hahaha, i am such a geek.

congrats to my good cute pal carly, she's getting a cute new apartment on the first of the best month ever. maybe i will actually make it there to visit her soon?!

i'm getting to the point where i feel like i am forgetting things for my trip, i got a lot done yesterday and still have a few days to get organized. it will be better once pete gets here so we can go everything together! we're going to play a game on the plane - 100 questions about your bf/gf! we're each going to come up with 50 questions, to make a 100 - and then we're going to write our own answers, and the answers we think the other got, and see how we do! hopefully it's not really bad, and then we'll have to cancel the trip. hahaha!

:)
