tomorrow

This face is exactly why I don't want to go to work tomorrow...

Can't you just see her saying, "Mama, please stay home with me!"

I want to say "yes" so badly.

 Hope y'all had a wonderful thanksgiving break!  We sure did!  I have so much to be thankful for.  I ate lots of turkey and relaxed.  The break was truly wonderful.  My dad carved a beautiful turkey, and we got to enjoy sometime with family.  Well, David studied A LOT.

I made candy wreaths with my mama, grandma, aunt, and cousins.  They turned out to be so cute!  David and I brought home three!  I really enjoyed making them.

I was able to snap this shot of Hazel during Thanksgiving supper.  She just wanted to know what was going on!  I just can't get enough of her adorable face!

Hazel got some quality snuggle time in with one of her favorite people--my grandma.  And made herself at home on my mama's couch :)

David and I got our Christmas tree and already put it up!  I start Christmas in mid-November, so he didn't have any trouble convincing me to get a tree early!

We are looking forward to the Christmas season!

I hope your Monday is amazing!

So it's been awhile...
life has gotten in the way again!

Just before we went on Thanksgiving Break, I got the flu.  And I had it for roughly two weeks.  It was so awesome, but not really.  Let's just say if my kiddos have something, I always get it!  Thanksgiving break was just what I needed to get over it for good!

We kicked it off with a GEORGIA game!  David and I had such a good time!  We even got to help Uga crowd surf!  To be honest, I'm probably a little too proud of the picture below.  I whipped out my phone so fast and jumped off the bleacher to get this beauty!

David has officially kicked off finals and all the fun studying that comes with it.   So I went to visit my parents for a whole week!! It was so much fun!  But just before I left, David and I celebrated 5 months of marriage.  And how much fun we've been having!

We treated ourselves to a Last Resort supper, Jittery Joe's coffee, and a walk around North Campus.  And of course, I had to have the chicken praline.  I get it every time and it never disappoints.

Then we ate an incredible lunch at Five Star Day, just before I hit the road to spend some quality time with the fam! Soup and salad!

Over the last week, we made our first step towards celebrating our first Christmas together by participating in Operation Christmas Child!  We love knowing that we have made some litter girl's day.  We highly recommend you get involved if you are interested!

And speaking of celebrating...my sister was almost a turkey baby!  We got to celebrate her birthday on Thanksgiving this year.  My grandma made a HUGE peppermint ice cream cake for Claire!  It was three times as big as her head!  She is 24 now... wow she's getting old!

And her precious dog, Margo LOVED helping her open gifts!  She can seriously rip up some paper!

It was so great to see so much family over Thanksgiving break!  I am so thankful for David, my family, job, and church.

Now I just can't wait for the weekend!
