Thanksgiving Week

 We had the best Thanksgiving week! A break from school, limited practices, time for our favorite traditions, sweet family moments, fun with friends, and a much-needed slower pace. So grateful!!!

Beyond thankful to have my crew home for the week!  It felt so good!

Me and Tyler kicked off the week with the Riley Green concert.  Good times, good music and good company!  Fun night!

The boys spent lots of time in the deer blind.  Since both Jackson and Mason got good sized bucks last year their standard for this season was super high!  They passed on some good bucks the first day waiting for a 10 pt.+.  Until next year . . . hopefully bigger and better!


Me and Harper had our own fun while the boys were hunting.  We saw Elf on Broadway . . .


Harper hosted a Friendsgiving with her closest friends.  Of course, I had The Cozy Globe fall ready for them!



It was a "bring your own board" Friendsgiving.  Harper's was a no-brainer, a pickle board.   She made pickle dip, pickle mac and cheese, pickle meat and cheese skewers and pickle spears!  


Such a fun evening with this group of girls!  Thankful for their friendships!



We spent a morning at the Oklahoma Regional Food Bank with our Braves family sorting and bagging apples!  







We participated in the 6th annual Bella Terra Thanksgiving Day Parade!  It's always so cool to see our neighborhood come together to carry on this tradition!


Right after the parade we headed to the neighborhood park for the 2nd annual Turkey Bowl!
And we ended Thanksgiving night relaxing in the hot tub with our crew!

We have so much to be thankful for. Sometimes slowing down is exactly what we need to truly realize how grateful we are.

OU vs LSU - Playoff Bound

 We finally made it down to Norman for an OU football game this season and it was worth the wait!  We had the best day cheering on the Sooners to beat LSU and clinch a spot in the playoffs!  My Sooner heart was so full after a day with my crew in Norman.  

We started the day off with a visit to the Beta house!  


The kids made themselves at home and played some basketball, pool and got endless ice-cream



The campus was decorated beautifully for Christmas!
The fall mums were still in bloom and looking good and so was Harper!
We made a quick stop at the Noun, a new hotel in campus corner.  They had the most fun gameday atmosphere with live music, big screen tvs everywhere, Sooner decor galore and so many familiar faces!
It was so great seeing a few Chio sisters and college roommates!


We love gamedays when the Paynes are in town!!!

Miss this crew so much but thankful OU games bring them to town!

Sooner born and Sooner bred!!!!

WHAT A GAME!!!  OU is heading to the playoffs!  We did our part cheering the entire game!

Boomer Sooner!!!
Seeing the Christmas light show on the library was icing on the cake! Perfect end to the perfect day!
Fingers crossed for a future cutie hootie!
