Columbus Day

Caroline & I decided to take a little day trip over to Niceville for Columbus Day.
& what a great day to do it! 
We went to my mom's house and my brother & dad were both off work for the holiday so we got to see everyone today!

We went to lunch at our favorite Mexican Restaurant on that side of the bridge - Pepito's. 
[I think it's Caroline's favorite too - that girl loves some cheese dip & quesadillas

& we went to one of my favorite places to shop in Destin and got me a little more prepared for Joseph's and my 1st Thanksgiving. [this year we're doing a big Thanksgiving at our house] I couldn't be more excited. I'm probably killing Joseph with all my talk about planning it - haha he ever so sweetly reminds me how far away it is. But, we all know a good party takes some planning :)
& that's kinda my thing. 

I'm now loaded down with casserole dishes & serving platters - I've got our table's attire for the day and some extremely cute Fall/Thanksgiving decorations.
I'm not done yet but it is a great start!
Couldn't have done it without the help from my mom! (xoxo)
After shopping, we all played outside for awhile. 
Caroline loves my mom's backyard. 
There are so many pretty flowers (that Caroline loves to help water) #mynaturechild
& she loves playing chase! 
So we wore her out before I loaded her up for the journey home.
I'm so thankful to only be living an hour and a half away from the people I love the most.

Couldn't be more blessed to have the family I have. 
Blood & In-Laws :)
