best night with my best friends.

I have really been missing my best girlfriends lately, so I reached out to see if we could come up with a date to get together over Christmas. Luckily, we found a date that worked for everyone and before we knew it, they were in Birmingham!

We started the afternoon off catching up over charcuterie and cocktails. Then, we headed to Queen's Park for a Christmas cocktail before dinner at OvenBird. We topped the night off back at home, fireside, drinking wine and talking about all the things.

 There's always a blurry pic or two in the mix with these three. So much laughter, so much love. Having them in town for the night was just what my heart needed.

Best night with my best friends!

little getaway.

We had grand plans to go to Napa this weekend, however, Mother Nature put a wrench in them. Unfortunately, because of the wildfires raging in California, we had to cancel our much anticipated trip. But, because we already had childcare lined up and an open calendar, we decided to head down to Rosemary Beach for a few days to ease the heartbreak and soak up some sun.

The Owens and the Woods joined us and it was definitely a weekend for the books.

 I am so thankful for a little getaway with the best of friends!

new friendships and beginnings.

Kindergarten popsicle party at the park this morning to jumpstart new friendships and cheers new beginnings!

These girls cannot wait for their first day of school tomorrow!

fit for a princess.

A requested and thoughtfully planned princess dress-up party for our almost six year old girl.

She was surrounded by her very best friends and even had a special surprise guest! ❄️

ELSA!

She painted their nails, read them a story, and even sang to and danced with them. They were in heaven!

We couldn't ask for a better afternoon. You are SO loved and easy to celebrate, Ann Bennett!
