Welcome to December

I have to say that December is by far one of my favorite months. I love it for several reasons, but mostly because it means fireplaces, hot coffee and tea drinks, good family time, and pumpkin cookies!

I love to focus on what this season REALLY means and how we can celebrate the birth of our sweet Savior. My sister sent this to me and I wanted to share it with you. I hope you can join in the reading for the Advent and Christmas season. I'm a few days late, but if you start today, you will start with First Thursday of Advent.

Enjoy! And let me know if you do the readings and what you learn from them.

(sorry it's so small)

Austin

Mom and I had a blast in Austin this weekend! Such a cool city. Here are some of my favorites from the weekend:

1. Just hanging out with my mom - we talked and walked and ate. It was so great just being with her

2. Kerby Lane Cafe - can I say "yummmmmmmmmmmmm"? The pancakes at this place are incredible! not to mention the Migas. We went to the original one on Kerby Lane, obviously, and it was so cute. It's a little house and has such a great atmosphere. I liked it better than Magnolia =/ shhhhhhhhhh

3. All the trails/greenbelts. This is an outdoor city and I love that! tons of places to go running!

4. The stars EVERYWHERE - I don't believe there is a building in this city that doesn't have a star somewhere on it. Mom and I were just laughing at how much Texas pride they have there. And they should. But it just makes me laugh.

5. And last but not least, we got to see my brother and sister-in-law and my sweet little Ana on our way back to Dallas. I couldn't leave seeing them out =) love you guys!

There were way too many things to do in such little time. Next time I go I want to go to the Alamo Drafthouse to have dinner and watch a movie, go to a museum, and go to a TEXAS football game. I think that would be so fun. Until next time Austin…..
