Happy (late) Thanksgiving everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

This past week was sooooo crazy at my house! Zeb and I didn't end up going home until Tuesday night because we both had to work in Athens. But boy were we met with a welcoming party at home!
My mom decided to start a new tradition and have a Thanksgiving meal for just our family a couple of days before the actual holiday.
Am I complaining? No siree bob. More food for me!

Wyatt wanted to set the table. So cute.
Fried Turkey. The only way to do it.




I'm pretty sure I am leaving a TON of stuff out but that's the gist of it. My favorite part? Chicken casserole with cranberry sauce. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

On Thursday, we went to North Carolina to have Thanksgiving with some of my mom's family. Big surprise: I don't have any pictures. But there was more good food. Also a precious baby. Can't get enough of babies these days.

Friday was spent shopping with Allie.

Annnddd because it's my birthday in two days (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), we had a Burton Birthday Dinner. Nanny always cooks once a month for the birthdays.
I even got to bring leftovers back to school with me! I'm currently eating the last piece of peanut butter cake* while I'm typing this post.

Fried okra. My fave. 

The cousins, plus Allie's boyfriend, and minus Renny Joy (who was just born!)
Also notice we're all stuffing our faces.

Birthday girls

It was definitely nice to spend a week at home with no school. Can't wait for Christmas Break! Only 7 more days!

*Peanut butter cake=caramel pound cake. When I was little, I thought the caramel looked like peanut butter. The name stuck and now everyone calls it that. I'm such an innovator.

The Voice of the Dawgs

Yesterday was a sad day in the history of the University of Georgia. Larry Munson, our beloved football announcer for 42 years, passed away from pneumonia.
This tribute video gives me chills every time I watch it.


This man was, and is, such a huge part of Georgia football.
His play-by-play calls will be remembered forever. Check out his Top 10 Favorite Calls here
{Number One is my personal favorite.}
He will be greatly missed by the Bulldog Nation.
We love you, Larry!

11-11-11

It's 11-11-11!!!
{and yes i did schedule this to post at 11:11}
I had never heard of the whole wish thing until I was a freshman in college.
But once someone told me about it, I never looked back.
"11:11 make a wish!"
It's engrained in my head.

Today is also special because it's Veterans Day!!
Thank you to the men and women who fought, and continue to fight, for our freedom.
Freedom is not free and I am so thankful to those who lay down their lives for us everyday.


"We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude."
-Cynthia Ozick

Enjoy your day of wishing!

Tomato Lover

Don't let the title confuse you...I really don't like tomatoes very much.
But I may be changing my mind.
I went to Panera last night and ordered the Tomato Mozzarella Panini.
Oh.My.Word.
Delish.


I didn't even have time to get out my camera before I started eating.
So a phone pic will have to do.

Have you had this before?
I'm definitely getting that next time.
{and maybe every time I go for the rest of my life}

Problem Solved

Christmas is my favorite holiday. Nothing beats it.
My favorite part? Decorating.

Only I have a slight problem this year.
I just bought pumpkins 7 days ago.
And by "pumpkins" I mean eight pumpkins.
{I tend to go overboard with holidays}

I realllly want to put up Christmas decorations.
But I don't want to get rid of my cutesy orange friends!

So I think I found a solution:



This is probably going to happen today.
Just because I'm so ready to get out the Christmas stuff!

PS I've been listening to Justin Bieber's Christmas album all week. So good.
