Thanksgiving Festivities

A few pics from Thanksgiving with the Allens....My parents are amazing cooks. I of course ate too much. That's what Thanksgiving is for, right?What would it be without a cheesy picture? My favorite sisters-The Christmas Countdown is on. Good thing I finished the advent calendar this weekend. We always seem to be so stressed the first two weeks of December with finals that I wanted to have daily reminders to remember what Christmas is really about and enjoy the season more. I think it turned out cute (thanks to Annette who supplied the clipboard and did all the sewing)
