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.
