A Louisiana Thanksgiving

We came to Jeremiah’s dads house for Thanksgiving this year. It was my first holiday being away from my parents and I’m not gonna lie, it was kinda weird. It didn’t even really feel like Thanksgiving. I guess because I’m used to helping my mom cook most of the morning and then eating our “normal” food. I’m glad that Jeremiah got to spend it with his family though and we still get to eat Thanksgiving again with my family this upcoming weekend. Does it get any better than eating TWO feasts? I think not! (:

All of the Pettys! This was the first time that Jeremiah and his two brothers and their families have been together on a holiday since….ever!

Jeremiah is the odd one out! Ha!

And then finally, the big family group on Jeremiah’s moms side. She came from Pensacola  a few weeks ago to see everyone and it was nice having her and her husband there too!

The Florida Pettys! (:  We enjoyed seeing everyone and this trip has been a nice break from our “normal” life. Sometimes just leaving your house for a few days feels like vacation! I hope your Thanksgiving was full of family and food!

thrifting and Miss Piggy

I’ve never been much for thrift stores, mainly because I never find anything in them. Well, Saturday I did! We went to Little Angels, which is a pretty awesome consignment store in Milton. They have some great clothes but, it’s hit or miss with boutique-y stuff. But that day, I got all 3 of these smocked dresses for $35. Score! We also went to the Goodwill store in Pace and I got some shirts. They have way nicer clothes than I had imagined and each shirt is $3.69…..$3.69!! I was pretty impressed! The kids clothes are like $1.50 a piece and books are 79 cents. So at that price I splurged on a book for Presley. ;) It was an old-school Miss Piggy book where she gets rid of her pacifier. I’m hoping the theme catches on at our house soon.

This was a Target find, instead of a thrift find, but I just couldn’t pass it up since Presley is so pig obsessed right now. I can’t wait to see the new Muppets movie. The trailer makes me so nostalgic. Oh, and Presley will for sure be rocking this to the theater to go see it!
