castalieWe've been having such a beautiful wintery weather this week! Sunny and cold. Just as I like it. Crisp weather is my favourite. I've been walking with a big smile on my face, snuggled up in my winter coat (although I need to buy a warmer one), with my big scarf around my neck, my mittens and my woolly hat with its cute pompom. Winter is coming and it always makes me so happy ♥ (I'm hoping it won't get warmer now, especially not when Winter officially arrives. Last year we had an exceptionnally uncold winter, which made me real sad, so we're due some cold... and snow!).
Also, today is the first of December! Meaning we've opened the first "door" to our Advent Calendar, wheee! It also means some of my favourite YouTubers will start Vlogmas. I've started my Christmas shopping. My own Christmas list has been shared with the family. Next week Cookie and I will get our tree... oh, yes, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas already :)
Moving on. In my last entry, I mentioned that I was going to celebrate my very first Thanksgiving with the FP over the weekend. Well, we did and it was as fantastic as I thought it'd be :) It was chill and cozy and omg, the food. You know the French and their relationship with food, right? Well, everything was delicious! Nicely exotic to our French palates but so good. Super rich, too, but so good. E, GD's partner, did you Americans proud, let me tell you ;) She basically handled all the cooking on her own; I mean, we helped as much as we could, but she pretty much did everything. She rocked :) And she totally spoiled us.
Also, we have the funniest (and cutest) story to go with this first Thanksgiving (or Frenchgiving, as E. coined it, which, so cute!) and the turkey. There was a little mishap with the conversion (pounds > kilos) and we ended up with a turkey that was five times bigger than it should have been. For reals! It weighted 12kg and could have fed around 30 people. In case you're wondering, there were six of us lol We laughed our asses off when we saw the monster. But as I told E. this was just the perfect story to go with our first Thanksgiving :)
We ate ALL THE FOOD! And it was absolutely delicious!
To make a long story short, Thanksgiving was a success, we had a blast. New tradition officially approved, we'll do it again next year! :)
