What's making me happy this week, XLVII

For the fourth year in a row, Adam and I hosted some friends for Thanksgiving, and it went off without a hitch. We even had plenty of time to relax in the morning and watch the entire Macy's parade. Francie was not a fan - she particularly disliked the balloons.



As is the tradition, we started pulling out the Christmas decorations on Friday, bought a tree on Saturday, and finished things up by hanging the outside lights today. I hate to say it, but between the early date of Thanksgiving and temperatures in the high sixties all weekend, I was having a hard time getting in the Christmas spirit. There was really only one remedy for that: festive cookies.



Yep, that did the trick.
