For the past few years, it's been our tradition to have a mini Thanksgiving feast a few days before Thanksgiving. After work Sean and I enjoyed fondue for dinner. I made a cast iron fondue skillet (main ingredient Italian Fontina cheese) and we cooked broccoli, potatoes, mushrooms, pork, chicken, and beef in a hot oil broth. Mmm, mmm, good!

| Fondue Night |
After work I took my family (Sean, Jenn, Mom, Bella, Auntie Rae, Boom) to watch The Good Dinosaur. I cried 4 times throughout the movie! The animation was amazing, it was so lifelike! I wish the story line was a little bit stronger, but overall I did enjoy the movie. After the movie, my family really wanted to see my Christmas decorations so they came over. Harold came along too. We ate the leftover fondue and just talked the night away :)
THURSDAY 11/26/15
Thanksgiving was so low key and chill. Sean and I stayed in the whole day until we left to go to my family's house. It felt really weird to not go to his mom's house to celebrate (his mom's side of the family moved out of state earlier this year), but I am glad we got to enjoy a nice dinner before she left town. We ate your traditional Thanksgiving fare, with the addition of one of my favorite Filipino dishes - Pancit! LOL. We also drew names for Secret Santa and lucky for me, the person I got is super easy to shop for. We left my family's house sometime after midnight and we just relaxed the rest of the evening.
FRIDAY, 11/27/15
I normally partake in some heavy Black Friday shopping early in the morning, but this year was a little different. We started our day at the 5th Avenue Mall in the afternoon We ate in the food court and then headed to JCP. I got my free Disney snow globe! I really hope they decide to bring it back next year. I heard that this was going to be the last year they were handing them out. I really wanted some new cast iron skillets, pillows, and towels and unfortunately JCP was either out of what we wanted or wasn't in our taste. I picked up some lotion for Jenn at Bath & Body Works and some Wallflower refills. My home smells like Christmas!
After 5th Avenue, we went to Nordstrom Rack. I got a new Kate Spade watch, a cardigan, black leggings, and new work out clothes for Sean. After Nordstrom Rack, we went to the Dimond Center and I had a little shopping spree at Torrid. I got a beautiful black sequin/tulle dress, tights, and pants.
SATURDAY, 11/28/15
Yay, low key day! All I remember from Saturday was going shopping at Target, and cleaning around the house. Oh, and we ate dinner at Lucky Wishbone. Happy 60 years, Lucky Wishbone!
SUNDAY, 11/29/15
Another low key day! I went to my work and put up my Christmas decorations. Unfortunately I won't really get to enjoy it until sometime next week since I'm still training a class. But at least it'll be waiting for me, right? We went grocery shopping at New Sagaya, Costco, and Fred Myers. Sean treated me to Pho Saigon. When we got home I prepped for work and watched the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead. I already can't wait for it to come back!
I pretty much got everything on my Black Friday/Cyber Monday list... I fulfilled a lot of it online.
