Holly is Totally Awesome Day

I am so blessed to have a wonderful family and great friends. This year my birthday was the day before Thanksgiving. I rarely get flowers for it, but my little sister went all out this year.

This year I wanted to hang out with out friends in my favorite place in the world, our patio. We pulled out the turkey fryers and all of our dutch ovens. We tried a few different recipes and fixed up 16 dozen shrimp and 2 red fish.

I even had a banner for my day, Thank you Shawn.

Thank you Craig for planning and prepping all of the food. I think you are pretty awesome too.

Girl Scout Family Camping at Lake Whitney

Another beautiful weekend camping. It is hard to believe that it is November. The weather was great. A bit warm, but very nice at night. I love the chance to spend time outside with the kids.

A great group of girls.

Catching butterflies.

Riding Patrick's bike, Alison is ready for a bigger bike.

Camp fire songs and S'mores.

The kids found fossils by the lake.

Happy Campers.
