A Thankful Year...

The holiday season is among us and we couldn't be happier! This is the first year in our new house for the holiday's and I have been totally psyched to decorate. I may be a little overboard with the amount of trees, but the way I see it, the more rooms..the more trees! Plus, Cara and Sammy totally dig it.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Spent the morning at Paula and Perry's with them and Grandma Jo, Mal, Harry and Brett. Beautiful weather and wonderful food, we found ourselves on the back porch with full bellies and great company. So blessed to have so much family, so close. After rushing back to get a turkey in the oven, the Gale side came over to our house and we spent Thanksgiving dinner at home. After the last two years traveling afar, it was nice to be home. We had a cornhole tournament, watched football and ate a lot. Love, love spending quality time with my family (even if they are incredibly messy!).

Holiday events are in full swing, and this weekend we will head to the Kennesaw Christmas parade where we may just run into Santa. This is the first year where I think Cara may just be brave enough to sit on his lap. She already told me she's gonna ask for a "new kitchen, and everything!". Thankfully, the elf on the shelf is at our house and Cara's behavior has cut back on Santa bringing her everything, so I don't think she will have expectations for an entire toy store in the living room Christmas morning...which will save "Santa" some money. I'm getting pretty excited to spend Christmas morning in the new house. Can't wait to capture the pictures of them finding their gifts.

Happy Holiday's to everyone!
