Dear Zack, Can you believe we get two Thanksgivings this year, on two separate days? Hall-le-lu-jah is all I really have to say about that one. So glad we don’t have to split the one day and do two feasts in 24 hours this year! One down, one to go!
Dear Thanksgiving, We ate lots of delicious food and spent time with Zack’s family. My favorite part had to have been when his grandpa’s wife asked if I was “expecting.” Why, no, I’m not but thank you? I’m gonna assume it’s more of a “hey, you’ve been married over a year now, what are you waiting for?!” as opposed to a “hey, you look pregnant!” My pride and all. Anyway, I’ll be working out like a mad woman today because tomorrow? We’re doing it all over again. It’s Thanksgiving #2, with my family! :)
Dear Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, As much as you are the same exact thing each and every year, and seem to get cheesier each year too (how is that even possible?) I still must watch you, because it is Thanksgiving morning, and that’s just what one does on Thanksgiving morning. So. I watched you. You were super cheesy. And yet, you got me all excited because hey, guess what! The holiday season can officially begin now! We saw Santa! (He’s, like, the official start of Christmas season, you know.)
Dear Yosemite, As much as the car ride really did a number on us (Zack in particular) I know we will be back, because let’s be honest: It was worth it. That place is incredible. You can see all my pictures from the trip HERE.

Cute letters! I am jealous that you got to watch the macy parade! I have wanted to see it for several years now in person…
Katie Did What
Ohh, girl, I just watched it on tv! I think it’d be fun to see it in person some time, too, but then I think I’d probably prefer it from the comfort of my living room more ;)

LOL! Your grandma be crazy.
I had two feasts in one day — yikes. I *tried* super hard to get small portions, lol. I have, however, already worked out once today and plan on taking a jog later too!!
Katie Did What
haha she cray. And yay I’m proud of you!! Two meals is pretty rough, that’s for sure! :)

glad you had a great (first) thanksgiving! The grandma comment is hilarious. we just passed two years and get that question all the time because apparently by now we’re supposed to start making babies.
Katie Did What
haha right?! Apparently the clock is a-tickin’ for some people ;)

we’ve had two Christmas dinners on the same day for the past 3 years – NOT COOL! as much as I love spending the time with both families that day, I seriously feel like crap the whole day from eating so much good food! Thank goodness you got to split the holiday! hahah, oh grandpa’s wife!
Katie Did What
Awww no, two Christmas dinners is no good!! Hopefully you’ll get lots of rest in between this year!

My parents/family always have done the two different day get togethers and it is so nice. I hope I’m able to do that whenever I get married. Great letters! Can’t wait to see what you scored in your online black Friday shopping.
Have a great weekend! I am excited to put up decorations tomorrow.
Katie Did What
Ahhh I am definitely a fan of the two-different-days Thanksgiving-ness. I like it. Gives me some time to prepare myself for more turkey ;)

that is great that you were able to split your thanksgiving into multiple days! I have divorced parents and in-laws which make the holidays very tricky. It’s so nice when people schedule holidays on separate days ;)

OMG I knowww! I was definitely so grateful that it happened that way this year! And we took a vote last night, and looks like every year from now on will be on separate days! YAY! :)
