Thanksgiving day

My Thanksgiving was wonderful. There are so many pictures I took of how much fun we had. And we have a lot of fun together! :)

My Thanksgiving was complete. It was full of so many good things.

Like:

Lots of fun swinging time and lots of cute pictures

Snuggles

Talking time and piggyback rides

Beautiful leafs

Guys in aprons who chop food

Random babies in turky hats that you meet on your way to the park

Even more swinging time

Getting sand in your shoe. Over and over and over again!

Little dogs (our dog plus our cousins dog)

Going down the slide

Drinks of water because you play so hard
Lots of Ipad time

Time for Grandma to play with her two granddaughters

Cousin time together

Babies that are adorable

Pictures with my niece

Beautiful girls (even when one of them makes silly faces... hello Alyssa!)

BEAUTIFUL back rounds. Look at the trees!

Parents and Grandparents

Pretty plants and Bokeh

Trips to the park.... including one trip where even the adults got on the playground! (Don't worry, they only got up there because we were going to take a family picture)

Self portraits

Baby love and cheesy smiles

Super pretty tables that were set!

Creative (and cool!) name cards made by my aunt & uncle

Silly pictures

Flowers

And of course. The food!

There was so much. It was delicious! I have no pictures of the pies but trust me we had lots and they were good too.
Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful!

Candy Buffet

Back in July for my birthday party I decided I wanted to do a candy buffet. My colors were lime green, light pink, and raspberry. I didn't plan very well and ended up trying to find the right colors of candy a few days before the party, but thankfully all it worked out! I was pretty happy with and it was easy to put together. Bonus? We had the lanterns on the ribbon already. All I had to do was hang it up! Enjoy!

Ohhhh and it was so yummy to eat.

I love Fall

Most places right now are getting snow. But where I live I feel like fall is just starting. Fall is such a beautiful time! The leafs change colors and the sky seems so blue. It rained yesterday, so to me everything seemed so clear. Me and my dad went and a walk this morning and I brought my camera to take some pictures. These pictures remind me of how beautiful our earth is. Enjoy!

Happy Saturday!

Which is your favorite picture?

November

Life is wonderful.

And - It's a new month!
I pretty excited about that.
I'm ready to blog more and take more pictures! You ready?
I'm doing good so far since it's November 1st and I took some pictures & blogged.
Also this month, I'm making a goal to 1. take a picture every single day this month. No cheating involved. And 2. Miss no days of my everyday early morning (6:00am) church classes. Wish me luck!
Let's get to the good stuff. Here are the pictures I took... of me. :)

Smiley/happy
Serious face
What the heck?
So I have to explain about the last picture. I had the camera on self timer and all of a sudden I heard a bee really close to me. I though it might be on me so I didn't move. And for some reason I covered my ear..? And I happened to look right at the camera. Look at my expression! There's your laugh for you today.

The best pumpkin cookies you will EVER eat!

During the fall I just love to bake. There is just something I love about turning my oven on and getting the mixer out on a cold, cloudy day. My favorite cookie to make during the fall season is pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. But I have a special recipe that I just love.

These may look like any normal pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. But I promise you, they're not. Whether you like it or not these cookies disappear fast. You learn to hide a few for yourself!

The best Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies you will ever eat:

3 sticks butter

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 t vanilla

16 oz can pumpkin

4 cups flour

2 t baking soda

1/2 t baking power

1/2 t nutmeg

1 t salt

2 t cinnamon

2 cups oatmeal

2 cups chocolate chips

Mix butter & sugars. Add the rest of the wet ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl & add them to the wet. Add the oatmeal & chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

These are my favorite fall cookies. I hope they'll become your favorites too!
