We are staying at Williamsburg Lodge, Autograph Collection tonight and what a cute place this is. 

They are both in the thick of finals this week and they are helping each other study for French by quizzing each other. Love listening to them study together. Haha, this’s parents’ dream!

Opening soon…

This gingerbread mansion took two days to make! I thought it would be a fun activity to do it with Chloe but she was NOT interested at all. So Shane stepped up (out of pity, I think) and helped me with it and we actually ended up staying up late last night and having so much fun while getting high in sugar. I say we make this mother & son tradition! What do you say kiddo? 

I was so sad my mother-in-law couldn’t join us this year because of covid but we have so much to be thankful for. Praise God for his faithfulness and his perfect love. Thanks be to God.

I don’t know what got to me last night, but after I prep the turkey and prepared the menus for the big turkey day, I had this crazy idea to make new table mats and napkins, so I started sewing at 10pm and finished 1am. I can’t help when something triggers my creative juice to start flowing. I just know I must obey it. ;P

She also dropped this lovely “thankful” pumpkin so our family can write down what we are thankful for. I am so thankful for your friendship and blessed to call you my sister!

My parents and I went out for a walk and we were surrounded by beautiful autumn colors!
