I've been a little radio silent over the past couple of days because we headed up to Northern California for the week and enjoyed a much needed break with family and a whole lot of food. And now that the festivities are winding down, I'm back.

And I'm totally in full Christmas mode so there are going to be a whole lot of gift guides coming your way very soon. But until then, here's a little peek at what we've been up too over this Thanksgiving break.

For as long as my husband can remember, they've had so many of the same Thanksgiving traditions in place and most recently, I've adopted them as my own. Every Friday after Thanksgiving, we head up to Apple Hill for a day trip full of apple fritters, family and fun. We stop at Boeger winery for some wine tasting and a picnic lunch, head to Abel's Acres next for fudge and a picture with the bears and then end the day at High Hill for some apple donuts, apple fritters and a whole lot of running down the big, muddy hill.

As we grow up, traditions change and while I have cherished all of these memories, this was our last Friday after Thanksgiving at Apple Hill and I captured all of the sweet memories with our growing family.

Press play and enjoy!
