Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We had a short but nice trip to Albany to see B's family. Unfortunately he had to work today, so we left last night. And although it's too bad we didn't get to stay longer, we had such a relaxing few hours just sitting by the fire after we got home. There's just something so lovely and comforting about sitting on your own couch, with a fire in the fireplace, surrounded by no one but each other and the two little fur babies. I felt extremely thankful.
During our brief stay, we not only ate lots of very yummy food, but all the gals went dress shopping. I bought "the dress," and my mom was all set to try on some mother-of-the-bride dresses and then bought the very first one! She looked great and felt great, so why wait? It's even - gasp! - black. Apparently MOBs don't often wear black, but most of the wedding is a little non-traditional, so why not. The lady said it's actually becoming quite trendy for the moms to be in black. "As long as you're not Italian, it'll be fine," the dress lady said. "Uh... both sides are Italian. Why does that matter??" So she went on to explain that sometimes the traditional Italian grandmas don't like the moms to wear black, but both of our grandmas are pretty hip, so we'll risk it.
I also got to work on wedding stuff with my super talented future sister-in-law. Save the Date cards, Out of Town bag labels, wine labels, etc. Here's a sneak peek at the Save the Dates she designed - we test printed one this morning to make sure they would work in the printer.
And I'll leave you with a shot of Miles, who was doing a wonderful job watching the printer to make sure everything turned out OK.
