Updates

First off, I want to thank Martina, Julie, Andrea, Jennifer, and Katie for their great ideas for my new weekly posts. I think I'm going to use all of your ideas and have a weekly favorite, whether it be a quote, song, item, etc. I'm excited!

I'm soooo glad to be off this week for Thanksgiving break. Haley's readers already know we had a girls weekend this past Friday through Sunday. We had such a great time- eating, shopping, and decorating the house for Christmas. It was a much needed break for me. I laughed so much I cried (imagine that) and thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with some of my favorite girls. Here are the before and after pictures of Haley's mantle that we decked out with Christmas decorations.



Haley and I decided to try our hand at painting Christmas canvases. I came straight home and painted my first one last night. Here's the finished product.



I'm excited about spending time with my family later on this week. Cort and Trey are coming home Wednesday night. I always look forward to seeing them. I'm so blessed to have such an amazing sister and a wonderful brother in law that makes her so incredibly happy. The entire family, nine kids and all, will be together Thursday. I will try to post pictures next week. Until then, I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday. Happy Turkey Day!!
