Southern Nest: November 2007

of course it is pink

We started the madness that is "Christmas decorating" in our home over a week ago...after all we decided on multiple trees this year. So, I thought we ought to get going early if we were going to have everything up in time for our 1st get together- November 30th.
We are all up and rolling now--all 6 trees and garland galore.
Decided to let HG and Rowan have their own trees this year. They are covered in their own ornaments. Here are a few pictures of Hayden Grace's...of course it is pink.
Lot's more trees to photograph- I will post pictures soon :)

gotta have glitter...

and little feathered white birds...

and heels!

ta da!

questions...

This week Hayden Grace says to me, "Mommy, why do we eat Turkey at Thanksgiving?" I explained a brief story of the Pilgrims/Indians...and she said, "Well didn't they know how to make Peanut Butter and Jelly"?
Hm...that is a good question. Guess this shows how much PBJ we eat. whoops.
She cracks me up.

And Mr Pouty face...rarely will he smile in a picture...so it's a good thing his pouts are cute!

Bella-Licious Time!

So, you know how the old point-and-shoot camera is...but some of these pictures were just too cute because of the BELLA's in them!

Jamie, me and Wendy crammed in Sassy's VW-Bug while Kim drives us to our Mini-shoot! Thanks Kim! :)

Aww---now this one is when we were getting ready to spend our last few hours with Miss Suz herself... (okay, so my pics are not chronological)

AND--Yes, the too amazing and terribly talented Kim at Olive Juice and Co...her aprons really are the best!

Our group with Prima Bella Teresa and her so talent sister Sassy

Wendy, Ann and I in Sassy's class- makin' Naughty or Nice planners...
