9 days and counting!

9 days to what you might ask?? Why ONLY the kickoff of the most wonderful time of year! Thats right, October 1st is the beginning of all that is wonderful! Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving... Christmas....parties, shopping, decorating...I cant get enough of it all!

This year is going to be jammed pack with tons of fun stuff to do and I can not wait! I'm sure most of you dont really care what plans we have going on, but I will share with you none-the-less because Im obsessed with planning and To-DO Lists:)

First things First...Zoo visit to see the grand opening of the Teton Trek! Heres a sneak pic of it, but you can check out the Memphis Zoo website for more info! Its going to be amazing..wolves, grizzly bears... the works!

Speaking of the zoo, we'll also be making an appearance to Zoo Boo this year! I can't wait for Halloween this year! Usually I'm not much of a fan, but now that I have sweet little P, I'm so ready!




I totally stole this idea from Kellys Korner, but I dont care! I knew Pres had to be an animal...she LOVES animals! But I wanted something cute and girly..so when I saw this pic, I had to order it! She looks so stinkin cute in it!

Then of course....my date with Edward, I mean my ladies and New Moon! Haha!

A little Thanksgiving.....

Then off to decorate for Christmas! Here are a few pics of my tree and mantle from last year!

Then starts the Christmas festivities!! First weekend of December I'm having a Christmas Party for a few of my close friends that meet for a dinner club each month! Then the second weekend, we will be heading to Nashville!

First stop, The Conners! These guys were our neighbors before they abandoned us and move to Nashville. We'll be visiting with them Friday night and having our annual Christmas get-together! I miss them and my furry niece, Maddie, and nephews Tank and Oakley!

Next stop...Franklin, TN for the "Dickens of a Christmas" experience! Ive always wanted to go but something always comes up! Franklin is this precious town near Nashville and Ive always wanted to see it at Christmas time! They actually take one weekend and dress up for the Dickens Celebration! How neat is that?!

We'll be experiencing this with one of my best friends LA, and her sweet hubby Jason...who have also abandoned us and moved to Nashville. I'm seeing a trend here!

And then of course their beautiful son, Lawson...aka Presleys boyfriend:)

And last but not least, we'll be spending the remainder of the trip with Clintons brother, David, and his sweet family!

OH! And my sister and her fiance, Geoff, are also coming in town the weekend before Christmas! I'm so ecstatic to see them!!!

It doesnt get much better than spending the holidays with friends and family!
