Bellingrath Gardens, December 2012

One of Mobile's best tourist attractions is Bellingrath Gardens and Home, a magnificent 65 acre Garden Estate built by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bellingrath in 1935. Throughout the year you can tour the gardens and home, strolling through the seasonal blooms and beautiful landscaping. But at Christmas time the gardens transform into a magical, lighted, Winter wonderland! Almost every inch of the gardens and home are covered in Christmas lights and it is truly spectacular. 

Alan and I visited Bellingrath three weeks ago, and here are some pictures from our trip. To view all the photos, go to my Picasa album here.

Thanksgiving, 2012

It's that time of year again! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Alan and I went to my parent's house in Daphne and joined them and my Uncle Ron in a spectacular feast! We ate SO much and had a wonderful time visiting, laughing, and telling stories. Here are a few photos from our day.
To see them all, go to my Picasa album.

I am extremely thankful for my family, and the time I get to spend with them. And the many, many memories we've made throughout the years at Thanksgivings past!

Breaking Dawn 2

My best friend Cassie and I went to see Breaking Dawn 2 on Sunday. It was SO good! We had a blast going to see it together and we were definitely glad we brought the tissues! Can't believe it's over!

Night At The Fair & Rodeo

A few weeks ago Alan and I went to the fair - one of our favorite things to do all year! It was a perfect Fall night with the weather nice and cool. We ate lots of yummy fair food and got to watch the rodeo! I love rodeos, it's so much fun watching the barrel racing, bucking broncos and of course, the bull riding. Here are a few shots from our fun night!

Mmm, fair food!

Saw this interesting fellow rolling around the fair.

Halloween Jack O'Lanterns

Last night Alan and I participated in an annual family tradition of mine...Halloween pumpkin carving! We picked out some spooky stencils (Jack Skellington and The Pumpkin King from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas), put on my favorite scary movie of all-time, Halloween, and got to work! Here's how they turned out...

Happy Halloween!

Fall Food

I love to cook and I love Fall! I've made some yummy food lately, here's some of it.

Fresh Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches,
Chinese Chicken Salad,
and of course...
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds. Mmmm!

Weekend at Gene & Sandra's

Last weekend Alan and I traveled to Augusta, GA to spend the weekend at his aunt and uncle's house and to attend his cousin's wedding. It was a beautiful weekend and we enjoyed the atmosphere and the company. Here are a few shots from our walk around Gene & Sandra's amazing property.
