Thanksgiving Recap & Who Wore It BEST?



Canadian Thanksgiving was earlier in October and although it seems like a long time ago, we enjoyed a lovely weekend spending time with both sides of our family, time outdoors and cheering Halie on at her final horseback jumping competition of the season.  


I started off the weekend reconnecting with friends after work on Friday.  We caught up on work, family and life.  We laughed and giggled, and filled our hearts.  


Saturday morning I started the day off by running and then watching Halie, and Steven (the horse), finally achieve their goals after working really hard this season.  They consistently made it over the .85 and .9 of a meter to get a couple of 2nd and a 1st place.  Unfortunately their second day got rained out and they weren't able to compete the second day but it was a huge success.



We gathered at my aunts and uncles to celebrate my uncle's birthday and share a Thanksgiving meal together. 



 My dad and I showed up to the gathering dressed as twins.  

Who wore the VEST BEST? 


We then headed 2.5 hours away to my in-laws to spend some time with them and our nieces and nephews on my husbands side.  It was a very quick trip but one filled with games, visiting and eating another delicious meal.  





We also got to enjoy some outdoor time even though we had our first snowfall, which was essentially just a skiff of snow that melted away immediately.  



My outfit! This year I decided to be very casual in wide leg jeans, lacey top and my vest over top.  I was chic but comfortable and these Levi's have a lot of give to make sure that even if I ate a little too much, they didn't dig into me.  


Along to the dinner I brought a good bottle of red wine and some Gluten Free pumpkin pie.

  3. The vest with the lace is very cute! I am so glad you all got some great family time in this month. Thanksgiving will be here before we know it in the U.S.!! Any snow already? It isn't so bad when it is light snow!

  4. What a cute outfit idea! I always like to think I will be dressing up with a sweater dress but in California it is still warm. But even when it cools down, folks love to turn on their heaters and I end up being miserable. So I like the idea of wearing a lace top with a vest. It solves the temperature problem but it is also very chic! Happy belated birthday to your Uncle and you and your dad are simply super adorable with your twinning outfits. I am a fan!
