MIA

I have a feeling, and by feeling I know because I've not prepared at all. that this blog will be rather quiet over the next few days. Kevin and I got in EARLY, as in 4:30am, on Monday morning from our drive to Michigan and we're still trying to catch up on sleep and get back into the swing of things.

I've got some Christmas gifts to snag up, my birthday is on SATURDAY yall, and since it's almost my birthday, that means it's almost my mom's birthday and I really ought to get a card in the mail. Speaking of cards, I also need to address Christmas cards once and for all, and get some more pencil artwork done too. Then, of course there's plenty of pictures to go through from our trip as well, but in the meantime, how about a few of my favorite scenes from Thanksgiving:

Love those little cousins of mine and their preciousness. Also, my aunt's newly remodeled/not-quite-done-yet kitchen looks fabulous and there are more pictures of it to come.


In my absence, I hope you enjoy many new blog posts from some of my other favorite ladies out there, like Bekah who's almost always got some sort of sweet giveaway going, or Karla who's come back to the blog world with a shiny new look and name.
