thanksgiving weekend recap.

after a wednesday night at selwyn, and lounging around thursday morning, court and i finally headed to our parents' house around noon on thanksgiving. we helped get the reminder of the set-up done and i made the mashed potatoes, a thanksgiving tradition! it was a "small" crowd this year with only about 20 people in attendance. after consuming an insane amount of food, i literally could not keep my eyes open. i snuck upstairs and fell asleep for a solid 2 hours before derrick woke me up to begin drinksgiving!

 

 

the night ended how it always does at the fowlkes house on holidays - with an awesome bonfire & a glass of wine! i could sum up all i'm thankful for, but i'll spare you since i know you don't care anymore after reading facebook posts for the last 30 days.

 

friday morning we woke up to chickfila, courtesy of my sister. we hung around, watched the hunger games, and finally made it out of our pjs and back to our side of town around 5pm. derrick, leigh, and i met up with my mom & brian at painting with a twist for my mom's thanksgiving celebration. we did a lot of drinking and a lot of painting and had a great time.

 

 

 

saturday morning i woke up in total football mode! rivalry saturday finally arrived and boy oh boy, it did not disappoint. after lsu/arkansas on friday, i knew we were in for a treat this year. we watched the noon & 3:30pm game over at brad's and had burgers and beer. around half time of the bama/auburn game, i headed to icehouse to meet my parents. we watched the gamecocks kick some tiger tail for the 5th year in a row & i enjoyed every moment of it. after the game, i met back up with the boys to take on montford. it was a fun night celebrating a huge gamecock win!
