Thankful

We had so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and to celebrate we headed down to Florida. It was a great visit with Granny, Papa and the whole Kirkland clan! The weather was beautiful and, after we ate lunch, spent the afternoon outside.

Giddy Up, Cowboy!

Cousin Ollie and Uncle Lance played on the tractor

Then it was my turn...

Our happy family!

I love the open space of the farm!

Granny and Papa

Papa, Aunt Tina, Daddy and Uncle Ryan --- so good to have everyone together!

Laurel and Daulton saddled up the horses again...

Sweet Cousin Bailey!

We had such a fun time playing together!

Laurel and Kiwi make a great team!

I am so thankful for my family and our visit to Florida. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and ate LOTS!! :)

Ho Ho Ho!

Our family can hardly believe it's that time of year again---time for Santa! We headed to Phipps this past Saturday, where I visited with the big man himself! I wasn't quite sure what to make of the entire scene but managed to make it through without any tears, which is such an improvement from last year!

Trying to warm up...

He even looked at my list!

Here's hoping he remembers my trains, trucks and doggy...

(the last item was my own idea, can you believe it?!)

Comin' Round the Mountain

After the Holiday Festival, we headed up to Aunt Anne's house in Highlands, NC. The weather was gorgeous and we had a blast!

SO excited to be in the mountains!

Lounging...

Jackson and I discussing the bears on the tree...they were so cool!

Watching the sunset...the perfect end to a perfect trip!

Thank you Aunt Anne!

My Little Pony

I had so much fun at the Holiday Festival at church this past Saturday! I played on the playground and, most importantly, rode a pony!! I am still talking about it---how fun!!

Safe in the saddle

YEE HAW!!!

Bye Bye kisses to the sweet pony, Licorice!

Cool Cutie

Have your people call my people!

(Wonder where I've seen this before?!?)

Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! We didn't go trick-or-treating this year (rain plus a cold sounded better spent inside eating chili & greeting kids at the door!) but I did dress-up with Jackson. Aren't we the cutest?!?

You can see I'm saying "Happy Halloween!"

The puppy and the monkey hugging! :)
