Santa

Jackson opted out of the Santa photo this year, but Madison LOVED it. She talked about the "Jolly Old Fella" of at least a week before jumping in his lap and giving him a knuckle bump!

Pizza

I love this photo! I love how something as ordinary as eating pizza on the kitchen counter top, can create such a precious memory.

Yea, we lost, but we had a great time in NOLA hanging out with friends and family!

I'm playing blogger catch up so pardon the multiple topics. It's been a busy last couple months!

A couple weekends ago, Rob and I went to Gatlinburg, TN for the football game. We stayed in a great cottage at the Oak Haven Resort and Spa and had a wonderful time watching The Tide beat Tennessee!  After the game, my Mom came back to Tuscaloosa and my Sister and Miles drove up from New Orleans to stay a couple days. Madison loved having everyone home! She always wants to call Granna and LaLa so she was thrilled to actually be able to play with them!

I'm also in the middle of working all the Pharmacy's PR for the Christmas Open House on Nov 20th (more on that to come later!!) Grab a copy of Kid's Life Magazine or the Northport Gazette to see Madison's "Oh so cute" photos in the advertisements!

The other big design project I just tackled was a mailer to go out next week and in-store flyer. Here's the front side of the mailer...

That's all the time I have to ramble. If I want to get a shower today I gotta do it during nap time and that's almost over! Sorry Rob, it looks like I won't be shaving my legs!
