The mister turned another year older. Cookie dough cupcakes make the perfect birthday treat.....
We had a little Thanksgiving fun at school. The kiddos loved making (and eating) these Oreo turkeys.......
This face.......
I'm pretty sure every leaf in the neighborhood is in our backyard............
I hosted my first ever Thanksgiving yesterday. I even got crafty and made a floral arrangement using berries from a bush in my yard.........
And I lived to see another day.
In fact, the house is so clean, that I've decided hosting gatherings is a good thing!
I mean, I dusted. And that just does not happen.
Unless I let people into my home.
This could be the start of something new.
