I hope all the Americans had a fantastic Thanksgiving! Mine was fantastic, I played kickball (and by "play" I mean "pitched for ~5 minutes, then sat on the bench chatting with friends") with friends in the morning then went to my aunt's house and had Thanksgiving dinner with my mom's immediate family. Followed it up with some epic Black Friday shopping, which was surprisingly tame - the longest line I waited in was to check out at Best Buy, and that was only a half hour! Of course, my sleeping schedule is all sorts of wacko now - which explains why I'm typing this up at 3:17am!
The rest of the weekend is Family Filled Fun! It's my grandparents' 80th birthdays and 55th wedding anniversary, so we've gathered literally all the family we can for a HUGE celebration! We've rented out a ballroom in a local hotel, and we're going to party the night away together haha. Which means I'll be a bit MIA on here and Twitter as I spend the days with family, but I know you all understand :)
