My Favorite Oreos!

Oreos are my weakness- have to dunk a few every night before bed! Hey- you have to get your calcium somehow! Love the seasonal ones & between holidays it is Double Stuffed. I have now found my absolute favorite Oreos of ALL time! I've only seen them at Target, but they are SOOOO good! I have eaten several packs already! Picked up 3 packs yesterday b/c I know time is running out. I hope Santa brings me a few packs & I even asked for them for my birthday!

I haven't even gotten a pack of the red Holiday/Winter Oreos if that tells you anything. The seasonal colored Oreos have always been my weakness. Halloween are #1, Spring #2, & Holiday #3, but the peppermint Oreos are so good I haven't even bothered with the colored ones! I highly recommend them. Don't get them confused with the Candy Cane Oreos, they are NOT the same! Just had to share- hope you enjoy!

Visit with Santa

Olivia met Santa & she did great! She snuggled up against him, rubbed the fur on his coat, & would look up at him with amazement! Just hoping she'll like him as much next year, though I fear she'll be crying in that pic!

Let it Snow!

Earlier this week it was 70 degrees & now our yard is white! Big pretty flakes for several hours this afternoon & into the evening.

Lots of Company & Lots of Love!

Olivia had lots of company in November & she loved all the love & attention!

Marni flew up from Florida for a long weekend. We had a great time catching up- it had been too long since our college days, but time hasn't changed a thing!

Uncle John & Aunt Lori came to visit

& more spoiling from Uncle Tyler who spent the night before he flew out. He LOVES to tickle her!She is blessed to be so loved!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving

God has given us so much that we sometimes take for granted. I'm thankful for all the blessings in our lives.

My wife who is the glue that holds our home together, my partner and encourager.

Our daughter who surprises, makes us laugh, shows us what love really is.

Our family who is there for the highs and lows.

Our friends who keep life exciting.

Have a special Thanksgiving and take a second to think about your blessings.

Uncle JA and Aunt Lori come for a visit

My bro and sis'n-law came down to visit Olivia. We had a great time. John and I hit up The Roast Grill in downtown Raleigh. It's a little place....very little (~10 seats) and they only serve hot dogs. Here's the kicker... only have three condiments (onions, chili, and mustard). We talked to a guy in line before entering and suggested trying a blackened plain dog. We enjoyed 3 each and a classic bottle coke in the vintage bottle.
Man vs Food visited here too and after he ate 17 dogs for a record..he was quickly outdone when a guy at 24 in Jan. 2010. We didn't do the challenge...maybe later :)

Trick or Treat!

A pink poodle for tick or treating with our friends.

Cutest little duck at TMBC's Fall Festival.
She's posing with her buddy Camden. They were too cute!

Our little ladybug

Cutest pumpkin in the patch!

SO many costumes, so little time! Just like a girl to need 4 wardrobe changes for 1 holiday! Several friends let Olivia borrow Halloween costumes & of course she had to wear them all! She was the cutest little duck at our church's fall festival, a pink poodle to trick or treat, & she enjoyed playing in her ladybug & pumpkin costumes. Her 1st Halloween was lots of fun!

October is officially over. You can see all the Halloween pics & many more if you click here.
