Thursday Thoughts

Today I am thinking about...


Birthdays! Flynn and Madison both have birthdays in the next couple of weeks. I am all ready for Flynn's big day. The cake is ordered and the presents are bought. Cinderella to the rescue! Madison is a bit more tricky...Eighteen is a big one, and not quite as easy to plan without input. Right now she is leaning toward a Frozen theme. She loves all things Disney. : ) Her birthday is the day before Thanksgiving, so I am not quite sure what she wants to have for dinner. Things will come together, right?! : ) I love November birthdays. And I love my November birthday girls.

Here is what we have been up to in our country home...


As if Tara visiting our home weren't enough, she brought sweet touches for us all.
 
 
November mornings are lovely here...
 
 
but November evenings are my favorite. : )
 
 
All ready to begin our family Christmas 2014...
 
 
with our annual Ornament Day at Hallmark.
 
 
They chose ornaments that reflect their personalities perfectly!
Madison...Christmas Vacation
Peyton...Jaws
Rhett...49ers
Flynn...Cinderella : )
 
 
And of course...snuggles in Christmas jammies are a must this time of year. : )
 
 
Leaving you with a selfie with my teen...how happy am I that she loves to spend time with her family...at almost 18 years old?!?
 
 
Have a wonderful weekend!

  1. Your November looks beautiful there. Our November turned into January with nearly a foot of snow to fill the yard and 17 degrees this morning. I would much rather have yours :) Enjoy the birthday planning and preparations. I bet they will be awesome!
