I had a splendid Thanksgiving! We went to Alameda to my aunt's house. I love being there with my family, chatting and eating and laughing. The time I spend with them I always appreciate and cherish.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Got to spend a bit of time with my goddaughter. She drooled on me a few times. 😉 Precious, just precious!

Happy Thanksgiving!

And oh yes, all the food was good. I had two plates. I tried to only take small portions so that I could taste everything. It worked. 😉

Twas a most lovely time.

We’re not silly enough to do the whole Black Friday thing but we did swing by Bath and Body Works so that I could pick up some lotions and shower gels. I love that place!

We also checked out Best Buy and picked up a couple of cheap blu-rays. The line was crazy long but it wasn’t so bad. And now I have a nice stash of fragrant products.
