Life Lately

...a month in review

WOW...I can't believe that it has been a month since I last posted.  Time has flown by and I have missed you guys.

So today I am going to share a quick recap of what has been going on in my life over the last month.

First Up

~our last camping trip of the season.

We headed south to A.H. Stephens State Park in Crawfordville.  It was the first really COLD weekend of the Fall season so I found myself sitting by the fire for the majority of the time.

I was able to finally get around to reading my magazines.  Does anyone else have months worth of magazines lying around just waiting to be read?

We did get in a little trail walking...

and someone got beat at horseshoes, again!

It was a much needed relaxing weekend!

Next UP

~Thanksgiving

We began our celebration of  Turkey Day with Coffee and Sausage Muffins all while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  A tradition that I LOVE!

The Parade was followed by a lot of cooking and even more eating.

Now It's Time For

~Christmas

We started off strong with our first Christmas celebration beginning before Thanksgiving ever arrived.  The Braselton Christmas Parade is always the 3rd Saturday in November, a tradition that dates back many, many years.

#patience

It was COLD!

The bands are my favorite part of the parade!

~Decor

Black Friday for me means DECORATING!!!

Here is a sneak peak but check back tomorrow for my complete Christmas Home Tour.

Skittles

~our mischievous little Elf has returned.

Do you want a build a snowman?

He brought a Gingerbread Village...

#concentration

...and a Reindeer.

Yet Another...

~parade.

This time it was in our home town of Homer.  The girls got to ride in the Firetruck while Dad manned the wheel.

The Grinch, Frosty and Santa...what more could you ask for?

HFD Annual Christmas Dinner

On Saturday all past and present volunteers gathered at the Firehouse for the annual Christmas Dinner.

He cleans up pretty nice if I do say so myself!

A huge "Thanks" to Chief Hill 

for his dedication and service

to the Department!

Birthday

Amidst all these holiday happenings, we celebrated my favorite son turning 20!

#heismyonlyson

Steak and cake, per his request.

So there you have it...my life lately.  So what does the rest of the year have in store?  We have a few more Holiday Parties to attend and of course there is Santa's arrival.  Then we'll round out the month (and year) with an anniversary get-away to the mountains of N. Georgia.

Stay Tuned...

Until Next Time,

Heather
