Happy Thanksgiving Yall

Well, we made it!! Thanksgiving is officially over and we're headed for Christmas! I LOVE the holidays! The cold ones are my favorite...even though they are rarely cold here in Texas! I love Halloween and all the cute and spooky decorating there is to be done, and of course Thanksgiving, with all of the family and food and abundance of happiness that comes from both and lastly, there is Christmas, the most important and beautiful of them all! I hope yall had as great a day as I did, filled with family, food, fun, laughter, and love!

Here are just a few pictures of my favorite things about Thanksgiving!


Texas beating the TAR out of A&M...need I say more??

Me and Ava Kate loving the food and watching the game, looking for Daddy on TV...

MaMaw and Ava trading shoes...


Oh and of course...the FOOD! This is just the dessert bar...YUM!



That's all...I tried to get a picture of all the gorgeous food, but I couldn't get close enough to it for all the people. By the time there was a hole it was all devoured! Hope yall had a good one!

Nesting Place

Ok...I LOVE this website! http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/ Nester INSPIRES me. I mean seriously inspires me. She has such wonderful ideas! I've made a garland...or five:) and I've mistreated my living and bedroom windows. I'm going to do Ava's room as well, just as soon as I find fabric I like. I think this mistreating thing is an addiction!

I am also currently gathering the things I need to do her big, beautiful, bountiful, and all the other ful's Christams garland! Oh and I am anxiously awaiting her post about the furry wreath! Oh how I love things like that...as long as they're not real fur of course.

Anyway I had to share all of my pretty things with yall. i just know after you see them you'll go on over to Nester's and get inspired yourself!

Hi Yall!!! So...I finally got up the nerve to start a blog. I've been such a good blog reader, but I never could find the gumption to actually make my own. Today I decided that I needed to just jump in and do it, which brings me to writing this post.

The first thing I did was write the "About Me" section. Lordy! It sure is hard fitting yourself into just a few sentences. Hopefully yall can learn more about me through my posts and not just have to rely on those few little sentences!!

Later, I will post a few pictures of my life. As for now, I am going to go around for a while feeling all proud of myself for making it through the first post:)
