I don’t know what the better gift I received today was: my Winter Thanksgiving treats, or finding out my bestie FINALLY rejoined the iPhone gang. 😍

Anyways— Mega YUM. This 30-weeks-pregnant mama is absolutely rejoicing knowing she’ll have this ginormous basket of goodies to chow on over the next week or so. 😋🍪 (And baby girl is probably *even* more thankful than I am. 😂)

Angie dear, I love you so very much; I am so beyond thankful for our 13+ years of friendship and our lovely, silly, madeup holidays. 🥰 I truly would be lost without you. Happy Winter Thanksgiving 2021 to my best friend on this whole planet! 🌎💥❤️‍🔥

Happy Winter Thanksgiving 2019!! 🍪🍫💙💜 My treats from Ang came in the mail today! How special it is to have a friend who celebrates special holidays with me, unique to only us. Thank you for ALL you do for me on the daily—especially lately...idk how you put up with me tbh. 😂 You’re amazing on so many levels even if you refuse to admit it!! Thank you for being just as extra as me, for always supporting and loving me, and for just honestly being the world’s best friend. I truly don’t know what I’d do without you, Ang. 😭 ILYSM, you precious donut. 🍩♥️ ps, thank you for so sweetly thinking of Mike and making sure his favorite brownies were in the box you picked YOU’RE TOO MUCHHHH😩

Later in the evening we met up with Mike's parents and headed to the Botanic Gardens. And what a frightfully fun night it was! 🎃🧡 I had such a great time getting into the fall spirit & checking out all kinds of amazing pumpkins with my favorite people (missing Charlotte!). Always thankful for a night out with the fam.

Last year was so incredibly hectic with all things wedding and buying a house that I totally neglected to send Ang cookies for BOTH Spring & Winter Thanksgiving. 😥 I decided to surprise her this spring with TWO orders (to make up for the one I missed last year)...so of course that overly generous ma’am just HAD to send me a "belated 2018 Winter Thanksgiving" bundle as well. 😓😑😒 JUST LET ME SPOIL YOU FOR ONCE SHEESH. (Side note: This box is so humongous, wow; I am totally going to destroy these cookies. 😋) Anywayyyys, all joking aside I’m honestly so thankful to have the most selfless and loving best friend on this planet--I truly don’t deserve her or her infinite kindness. I love you so much Angie, THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME FAT WITH ALL THE POUNDS OF COOKIES YOU KEEP SENDING ME. 🍪💙💜

Today is also my brother Mitch's 19th birthday! After munching on some yummy cookies, Mike and I headed to my family's house with the penguin cake we made him to celebrate! If you're wondering what the orange bit is on the penguin's head...this is a macaroni penguin cake, which is specifically Mitch's favorite type of penguin.

(I helped with the awesome decorations, obviously.)

Happy Valentine's Day!! ❤️

This morning I woke up to a beautiful bouquet of flowers and the world’s sweetest card from my husband. ♥️

In the afternoon, I got a text from my best friend Angie letting me know that she had gotten her belated 2018 Spring Thanksgiving treats! Just look at the cute box!!

Later, my lovely mother-in-law also dropped off some Vday treats! 

In the evening, Mike and I had dinner at Francesca’s and the food was simply to die for. 😋 It was such a completely wonderful day!

Spring Thanksgiving treats arrived today! 🍪🦉💜💙 You’re about a week early, but at least you’re not THREE weeks early like I was. 😂 Our mailing skills are getting better? Kind of?? Anyways, THANK YOU for the delicious cookies—you know I’m such a sucker for Mrs. Fields. 😋 Even though our gross Illinois weather caused the cookies to freeze and I had to microwave them to eat them... 😐 And yes, I already ate all the chocolate chip ones. 💁🏽‍♀️ Ps, this box is so heckin’ cute!!! 😍 Thank you for being SUCH a wonderful best friend and carrying on silly childhood traditions with me for all these years; IT TRULY MEANS SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU ENDLESSLY, ANGIE DARLING! 🥰😘♥️

Spring Thanksgiving treats for my favorite ma’am! 💛🍫🐝 I stupidly forgot to include a “deliver on” date for my order, so Ang got her cookies three weeks early instead of on Valentine's Day. 😂 BUT! I’m not late for the first time in, like, years...so I still see it as an improvement. 😎 Huge shoutout to Mrs. Fields for always having the cutest cookie boxes ever. I am super satisfied with how stinkin’ adorable Ang’s bee box is! Anyways, hope you enjoyed the treats dollface! Love you mucho xoxo💋

My Winter Thanksgiving treats from Angie came today! Look at the cute chocolates she got me!!

Also today, after work was finally finished, Mike and I spent the evening making Halloween-themed cupcakes for my dad's birthday (which is tomorrow). They turned out so awesome! We made chocolate tombstone ones, and vanilla knife/blood-spattered ones. I think my dad is totally going to love them. :)

Angie got her Winter Thanksgiving treats from me today! I am so thankful for her and our little holiday. It means so much to me that we both keep celebrating it together year after year!

Got my chocolate treats TWO days early because ONE of us is on top of things this year! (Sorry yours won't be arriving until next week... 😅😭) Happy Winter Thanksgiving Ang! I love you so much! Thank you for continuing to carry on our little lovely holidays. And thank you for staying a constant in my ever-changing, hectic life. Mucho amor para ti! 😍🍫💜💙

My Spring Thanksgiving treats came today! This is probably the closest the two of us have ever gotten to having the treats arrive on the right day, lol (yesterday was Spring Thanksgiving). My cookies were delicious as usual! Always so thankful for this holiday and my lifelong friendship with Angie. ☺️💙💜

And now my Spring Thanksgiving present arrived from Angie today!!

Gaaaahhh I'm so thankful for my best friend and our silly, made-up holidays. 1,355 miles between us and yet we've still managed to stay friends for 7 years now! I love you so much, Ang! 🥰🍪💙💜
