Thankful

Life sure has been FULL lately, and for that, I am so thankful.
Here is a catch up from the past few weeks, ending with our Thanksgiving.
--
Ladies Night out at Neon Tiger.  The buffalo cauliflower pizza was our favorite.
--
Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays! 
All of these sweet girls celebrated their birthdays' over the past month.  We have been party animals.
--
The College of Charleston's "Lowcountry Boil" was such a perfect Fall family event.
My parents came with us...My mom and I are proud Cougars.

--
Another Birthday party, this one with a special visitor from Under the Sea.

--
K and I celebrated our 7th Anniversary last Monday...at Costco!  We are going out downtown in a couple of weeks but honestly, this is how we roll these days.   I am so happy with the life we have created over the past seven years.  I feel lucky every day.
 
--
Thanksgiving 2021!
It was so great to be able to have our families together after a year off in 2020.  The weather was perfect for an outdoor dinner.
--
K did TWO turkeys this year.  One smoked and one fried.  They were both delicious but I think the consensus was: Fried Foreva.

That's a wrap!  I've got 3 weeks until Christmas Break.
Time to get organized and make allllll the magic happen.

First Trip to the Fair

 Yesterday we ventured out to Ladson for our family's first trip to the fair!  I hadn't been in 20 years, K probably even longer.  We were given free passes and ride tickets, the perfect reason to make the trip. Thank goodness the sun came out for us, and we spent a couple of hours wandering around.  EB's favorites were the Ferris Wheel and the House of Mirrors.  My favorite was the jumbo corn dog!  Little sister was thoroughly confused by the whole situation and stayed put in her stroller.  K won a pink teddy bear.  The End!

JCPenney Style

 I went into JCPenney the other day to look for new shoes for the girls.  I haven't been there in 10+ years and was very surprised by how contemporary and on-trend so many things were.  Who knew?

Anyway, I picked out several of my favorite pieces and decided to share.  Let's shop!
