It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I love this time of year more than any other! It all starts around mid- November for my family because we all seem to have birthdays around each other. My nephew Alex turned 1 on Nov. 16, my brother Ryan turned 30 on November 20th and I turned 27 on the 23rd. It's a great way to start the holiday season with birthday parties, Thanksgiving, tree lighting at Lenox, getting out the Christmas decorations, and my favorite... shopping! Trey and I had a great Thanksgiving week and I can't believe it's back to work tomorrow. It's going to be a great month!

I finally got Alex to smile with me...

Alex loved sitting at the head of the table!

My brother Ryan, Trey and I met up with Justen and Jen and got to see the pre-show with Katherine McPhee. It felt great out for a November night- as you can see we're not wearing coats.

Happy Halloween!

Trey and I had the best Halloween weekend this year. It was a stark contrast to last year- thank God and we celebrated by hanging out with good friends and family. We kicked off the weekend at Carrie Beth and Robby's Friday and Saturday and spent time with his parents who were in town and had fun watching Handley and Harper get ready to trick or treat. They were so cute!

Then Saturday night we headed to a costume party thrown by my cousin Ali and her friends in Marietta and got to hang out with Puja and Brian. We had so much fun dressing up as Frenchie, one of the pink ladies from Grease and a T-Bird and the party was a blast! It felt like we were in college again. They really went all out with the decorations, food, music and strobe lights/ fog machine. It felt like we were in a club and we danced the night away!


Then last night we had fun at our own neighborhood Halloween celebration. My parents, Jon, and Lisa came over for dinner and we got to see all the cute kids coming around, including one visitor, the cutest little spider Kevin- who's walking all over now.


Happy Halloween!


Puja was clearly a cowgirl...

Ali as the fairy from Fern Gully...
Brian was a redneck... ha I mean... actually I don't remember who he was. haha
