Christmas and snow and Christmas and snow!

This was from the first snow of the season... I was so excited!!

...I mean.. Seriously!

Have you ever seen a cuter elf?

I have more presents under my tree than ever before! (And I still have more to wrap :O )

Hearts! Do you see them?!

This was an accident, but it turned out neat so I had to share!

Tonight we are celebrating Christmas at my grandmas and then in exactly one week my family from Louisiana will be here! Look forward to a TON of family pictures.

Merry Christmas!

Reasons Why I'm Forever Grateful.

Thanksgiving Part II

So, I said I took a lot of pictures... Right? I just looked through them again and I almost feel like this could go up to a "Part X" but don't I don't want to lose your interest so we'll stick with only a few. 

We stayed up in the mountains and it was surrounded by trees and animals. Unfortunately the trees were "leaf-less" but the scenery was still extremely beautiful and untouched. I loved everything about my four days there. Everything.

The part with the sun and the no clouds was my favorite of this weather. ^^

But, the sunset is really what stole my little heart.

^^This isn't zoomed. I was actually this close.^^

^^But this was maybe a little bit zoomed... Maybe^^

If you offer them food then they love you! Who would've thought?

So beautiful.

Can we go back? You guys wanna join?

Thanksgiving Part One.

For Thanksgiving 2013 my family all gathered together at a beautiful cabin called the Watusi Lodge in West Virginia. The cabin was surrounded by trees, mountains, and not a single bit of cell service. It was a nice break from "real-everyday life". Of course I had my camera in hand most of the time and snapped ... oh let's say 300-ish pictures... Don't worry, you don't have to look at them all (you're welcome, family) but I will show you the good ones. 

Enjoy!

^^Anyone want to figure out ways to jump into pictures with me? I love this cabin.^^

^^Homemade biscuits.^^

^^Big, big, big family means lots of food.^^

We had a smoked turkey and a deep fried turkey. (I'm actually not a turkey fan, but the deep fried turkey was not bad at all!)

There was also all the sweet potatoes you could possibly eat. I definitely helped myself to one of those. YUM!

This picture is when I was trying to get a decent picture with Cade and he was trying to get a good sarcastic picture with me. I love him anyways. (a lot!)

Well, like I said, I took only about a bazillion pictures and it might take a while to fully go through all of them, but you'll see them in Part II and maybe even a Part III but all in all this was a fantastic Thanksgiving. 

Okay, now that Thanksgiving is done we can officially be excited for Christmas right? Right?.. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
