Holiday Dressing

I’ve just returned from a crazy Thanksgiving holiday and these are some pictures I took just before I left.  My original plans of flying to NYC and watching the parade were changed.  Instead I spent time with my family and drove 13 hours to see everyone.  I drove so I could take my little dog who had been sick the past week.  I didn’t want to leave her in kennel not knowing how she would feel.  The trip was crazy, but well worth it!

I brought a Panettone that I found in a local shop.  I love eating this for breakfast with coffee, and since my father and step mother have lots of company I figured this would feed a crowd.  I also thought the colour and design of the packaging was beautiful, especially since it matched my outfit :)

Sweater: Victoria’s Secret (old) Similar Here.  Skirt: Ann Taylor (old) Similar Here.  Bag: Kate Spade.

This holiday was  a nonstop frenzy of cooking, cleaning, eating and chatting.  I had even forgotten to take pictures, I was so busy.  And instead of being on the computer late every night, I stayed up and chatted with my step mother and her cousin, most nights till 12am and later.  It was a nice change.  I loved being “present” instead of being on the computer or snapping photos.  Plus I was able to see my Yie- Yie (grandfather in Chinese) who is 94 and I may not get a chance to see again.  So I had a wonderful time.

Have you gone on a special holiday recently?  Are you planning anything for the New Year?  

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week!
