Thanksgiving

I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We left on Wednesday afternoon and headed north to Providence, RI to see Ellen.  We took her to dinner and although the Chili's left a lot to be desired, it was great to see her and spend some time with her.  Although she's done well at school, she's decided to come back home to go to school and live, so once Christmas comes, she'll be back home for good.  I'm so excited to have her move back home!!!

After spending the night in Providence, we  headed further north to Vermont to spend Thanksgiving with Andrew.  We had a great time!  The boss and I took a long walk on Thanksgiving afternoon, after watching Rutgers win.  We had reservations at Sam's Steakhouse for dinner...this was the first time in my life I ate in a restaurant for Thanksgiving!  After dinner there was a lot of game playing... 

We stayed in Vermont until Saturday.  We made a quick trip to Waterwheel House Quilts in Londonderry where I picked up a few things...

The bundle on the left are Kaffe Fassett's and the bundle on the right are from Lecien.  Both are beautiful! 

We had hoped for some snow while we were in Vermont, but according to all the papers, this is the first time in 15 years that the ski resorts didn't have snow to open on Thanksgiving.  Fortunately, on Friday night they got a start on it...

and Okemo will be opening this coming weekend!

While I was there, I read a book, spent some time knitting and worked on these two applique blocks.  One more block and I can start putting this one together!

And when I arrived home there were some beautiful Christmas paisleys waiting for me from the Fat Quarter Shop!

Once I take my state licensing test on Thursday I'll be ready to get started on decorating for Christmas and finishing up Andrew's quilt.  So, what did you do for Thanksgiving?
