Goodbye Fall...Hello December!

Hope y'all had a nice Thanksgiving with your families!  We traveled to South Carolina to spend a couple of days with my mother-in-law and brother-in-law.  We all ate way too much!  The girls and I enjoyed spending time together outdoors in the pretty weather.  We went for walks, played Frisbee, and skipped rocks on the lake.

Just look how the lake transformed as the sun started to set.


Brittany tried to teach Abby how to skip rocks the "proper way".  Of course, most times, her rocks went THUD!


I joked with the girls that this picture almost makes them look like they're a couple in love.  I think it's super cute!


 I love how the sky changed into such spectacular colors.


God's masterpieice at it's finest.


Who could resist roasting marshmallows by a bon fire?



Thankfully, when we got home, I already had our tree put up and decorated, so all we had to do was plug it in and ENJOY!


It's definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here!  Now, if I could just get a little snow to fall, I'd be set!

What glorious photos!!! Some stampers are able to sponge paper to look like those sunsets, but I haven't mastered it yet! Someday...

Your tree is so beautiful! I love, love, love lots of lights like that! We will be doing our this weekend, and I dread it because it always seems to cause "friction", lol! And it makes me miss my two older kids, who won't be here again this year. *sad face*

BUT...we have no bugs! And for that, I will be eternally thankful!!!!!

Oh my gosh, those pictures are beautiful! The color of the sunset was gorgeous! And I love the one of the girls - it actually reminds me of those old silhouettes of kids back in the day! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I hope you enjoy your weekend!
