My American Girl Doll

Early in December,

I was able to take my littlest girl to Chicago’s American Girl doll store.

She loved American Girl dolls when she was younger but this store didn’t exist way back then :)

There is no need for words…

Hannah died and went to heaven.

 

 

She and Jeremy walked away with a red headed, green eyed and freckled American girl doll for Evelyn.

Lovin’ It,

Lisa

Better Late Than Never

Thanksgiving moments with Landry…

Little Landry ate pumpkin pie with Great-Grandpa

He re-alphabetized my documents.

Who needs toys, when Grammy has file cabinets?

He washed up…

While the whole family enjoyed.

He showed off his curly Q’s.

Bundled up…

and took lots of walks &

enjoyed “Ooooo wowing” the “hott” fire with Papa Joe.

Lovin’ It,

Lisa

Snow Time

My Gift

Happy Birthday

MOM!

You are one hot 79 year old!

Every year, I admire you more.

Hard to believe...

that you are even more Unselfish than you are Beautiful!

Lovin' You,

Lisa

My Perfect Package

It's almost Christmas...

and I am deeply missing the cutest package in Texas!

Even these gorgeously gift wrapped gifts ...

can't compare to my little drooling cowboy.

And NO gift can surpass

The Greatest Gift of All...

Happy Birthday & Thank You

to My Lord and Savior;

Jesus Christ.

WHO blesses me with the ultimate gift of Christmas...

365 days a year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Lovin' Him,

Lisa

Delightful Dining

Lovin' this table & room for some Christmas cheer.

Recently my friend, Jane submitted her absolutely gorgeous Christmas tablescapes to The Adventures of Tartanscot's table setting contest.

Her mantle is so festive and fresh. I love it!

It also provides a sneak peek of her new room I will feature in the new year.

Her dining room tablescape was royal and rich.

Just so very pretty.

And then her kitchen tablescape, with a tureen filled with 47 pink peonies, stole the show!

The pink vintage china and silver is breathtaking.

In my humble opinion, this also should have been the winner of Tartanscot's contest!

However, this table did!

While this table is lovely and beautifully done...??

I loved Jane's much more :)

Don't you?

Check out the other contestants...

Underneath My Christmas Tree

Just fell in Love with this tree skirt

and I had to share it.

Maybe I will find it under my tree...

next year :)

Lovin' It,

Barbie's Dream House

Dear Santa Baby,

It's okay that you never brought me Barbie's Dream House when I was a little girl.

Even though I wanted it really really bad.

But, this Christmas can you bring me this real Dream House?

I've been an awful good girl.

Lovin' It,

Lisa
