Dreamgiving Weekend

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving here at the Dream!  Hosting our first turkey-day turned out great.  Mr. Dreamer is a natural at cooking a bird – something neither of us had ever attempted before!  We hosted nine friends and family around our tables (just one wasn’t big enough!).  The placemats were a hit and a fun thing to tuck into everyone’s leftover bags.  Here are some photos of our day and the fun we had all weekend…

Then… we set out on a CRAZY Black Friday adventure.  Six of us piled into one SUV at 4:00 AM for the four and a half hour trek to the best outlet stores ever – just outside Palm Springs, CA.  We shopped until we dropped – and then made the four and a half hour trek home. WHEW!

Finally, as if one 17 hour shopping marathon wasn’t enough, we topped off the weekend by registering for our mini-Dreamer.  Since we have absolutely not one clue what a babe needs (this munchkin will be the first baby in both families)… we called in reinforcement.  Mrs. Dreamer’s BFF and mom of three, Carrie came to the rescue and helped us scan just the right items so we have what we need approximately five and a half months from now.

after two hours, this is how we felt: overwhelmed!

we can do this, right?!
