November recap

Since my blog posts seem to be dwindling, I am going to combine a whole lotta info in this one post on the last day of November. 

First up (and most importantly!):

The first week of November started with my wonderful husband's birthday. I found my way around his no gift rule with delicious sweets. And here is the most yummy cake. Ever.

I love you husband. And I love your birthday.

Thanks to Pinterest, my apartment was a little more fall festive this year. Here are some of the mini decor projects I made/copied/attempted:

Thanksgiving is always one of my favorite times of the year because of Friendsgiving, a potluck I throw with my beautiful friends. This year was icing on the cake because we ladies went and saw Breaking Dawn after dinner. Perfect night.

For dinner: I cooked the turkey and it was done on time and in fully cooked fashion. I also made some pumpkin dip and pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies (found via pinterest) that were delicious!

Thanksgiving this year was spent solely with my family at my sister's house. It was 8 hours of family time cooking, watching football, playing games, and eating. I made some parmesan knots, baked brie, pumpkin cupcakes, and fruit salad.

Happy Halloween!

It was aunt and uncle time on Monday for Halloween. We went trick-or-treating for Everett's very first time! He was sooo cute. I especially enjoyed how he liked to eat in between each house. That was good form right there. Here's the cutest chicken ever:

The aunt and uncle time continued when we went to visit Tyler for his first Halloween! He was so adorable dressed in his pumpkin costume. (And yes, those are little girls polka dot tights!)

 Best halloween yet!

Hip Cooks

The siblings and my amazing Aunt Julie attended a pasta cooking class last week at Hip Cooks. We learned how to make pasta from just some eggs and flour and were able to make:

 butternut squash, dill fettuccine with salmon and vodka sauce, herb pasta confetti, and mushroom and spinach rotolo. 

We all had so much fun! It was a great gift from my aunt and unique family activity. I will definitely be looking into taking classes there again!
