Here are some fun things that happened in November!
I got to start the month with a fabulous and fun trip out to Tennessee to see a dear friend Desiree. It was wonderful to spend some time with her and her beautiful baby and super nice husband and even some other family members! It was the perfect time to go out East. Prime Fall season, huge trees and fall leaves everywhere! I loved it.
We visited a bakery called Magpies and had the BEST cupcakes ever! They have new flavors and free mini cupcakes for the tasting the first Friday of the month. It was such a treat!
(Pecan Pie, Apple Cinnamon, and sweet Potatoe! Elliott liked them too!)
We took walks, played games, and loved every minute we got to spend together. Thanks again for being the best host ever Des!
Before we cover the big holidays and my birthday, we had a little adventure right outside in our backyard. One morning after Brandon started his car (an '89 Honda Accord) and got out to scrape off the ice, the handle to his driver side door decided to break. Unfortunately, the passenger side has a separate key which has no duplicates......we then spent the next 1.5 hours jury rigging hangers and spatulas to open the door. With the help of Brandon's super strong hands, a wooden spoon and some hangers, we eventually came off victorious.
Now on to my favorite part - my birthday! I love birthdays, and I am lucky enough to be born right near Thanksgiving so I usually get to spend my day of birth with my family. It was another great one. We wore party hats all during breakfast!
It started with a delicious breakfast with my dearest friend Kate & Tommy.
Then a wonderful rest of the day with family, fun, and delicious food!
(Brandon and I celebrated early by ourselves at P.F. Changs)
(yum....the best chocolate cake ever with pumpkin ice cream!)
The very next day was Thanksgiving. Always a great day! Pics of that are on my sisters camera, so I'll have to add them later.
What a great month! And now it's on to Christmas! Celebrating, decorating, shopping, mint m&m's, listening to Carpenters on repeat, and singing Barbara Streisand's Jingle Bells as fast as I can....and counting down the days till my brother & his wife with a bun in the oven get home from Scotland. The fun just keeps on going and going!

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
