Us Lately

So, I know it's a little late, but I thought I would share about our Thanksgiving.  It was wonderful, and everything a  holiday should be.  Filled with food, laughter, football, more food, and family.  We spend the morning cooking the last of the casseroles, and the rest of the day playing with the kids and eating.  Only a slight mishap when we mistakenly sprinkled cumin instead of cinnamon into the sweet potatoes.  We were able to scoop enough of it out that they turned out great!  We may have created a new recipe.  My nephew Grady had made pilgrim and Indian hats at school so we put them on he and Blakely and had a good laugh!

My mama with the grandkids.  This makes me laugh!

Jeff and I spent the rest of the weekend lounging around and watching movies and cuddling with our girl.  We decided NOT to go out shopping for black friday.  We decided that there was nothing that we needed that badly to have to go out and deal with crazy shoppers and long lines.  I was totally not in the Christmas mood up until Thanksgiving, but then all of a sudden I got really excited about it.  I finally turned on the Christmas music and got out the decorations.  I need more.  It's kinda sparse.  I guess I realized that this was Blakely very first Christmas and I want everything to be perfect for her, even if she wont remember it.  She'll have no idea that it's different than any other day, but I will.  I want her to grow up with traditions and memories.  Also, we have my family coming into town this year.  I'm so excited to see them!!  They will all be meeting Blakely for the first time.  I will be camera ready!  I will leave you with these.  My life, my loves.



How sweet is this?!
