The Happiness Project :: Thanksgiving-ness



I just love all things Thanksgiving...
the fall colors, the feeling of gratitude, the turkey.
I finally took down the Halloween decorations
and tossed up our Thanksgiving mantel.

It feels all warm and cozy.


Then last week, Koen played the part
of the King of England in his 
Kindergarten Thanksgiving production.

He totally nailed his lines!
I just live for school productions.
They really are the sweetest.

I'm realizing more and more
that I have so much to be grateful for in this
wonderful little life of mine.

The Happiness Project :: Backpack Bear


Koen's class has the sweetest tradition.
Each weekend, a different child takes "Backpack Bear" 
home with them and makes a photo journal 
of their time together. 

So, Backpack Bear spent some time with us
and here are the highlights.

Friday night was cold so Backpack Bear got
quite toasty with Koen by the fireplace.


Later that night, Koen read
his very favorite Curious George book
to Backpack Bear before they snuggled down to bed. 


They spent Saturday night at
Koen's Grandparent's house.
They cuddled on the couch
and watched the UGA football game with Poppy.

 

Sunday afternoon
was spent running errands around town.
Backpack Bear took a trip
to Lowes to get some supplies
to help his Daddy with a project.

 

Then they came home and drank hot chocolate.
 We loved our weekend with Backpack Bear.

The Happiness Project :: Happy Birthday to me!!

{Turn around bright eyes. Every now and then I fall apart!}

So...I turned 40 over the weekend
and I celebrated with a drunken 
night of Karaoke madness with my friends.

It was SOOOO fun!
Being 40 is awesome so far!
