Legally Blonde's Proceedings

This is a several weeks belated post, but better late than never!  A few weeks ago, I traveled to New Orleans for my birthday and was joined by 4 sweet friends who left their families for the weekend to help me celebrate.  Even though everyone already had their flights booked, I still wanted to send an invitation with some information... I was so thankful that they were such good friends they would leave their kids and husbands, spend money to fly to New Orleans, and celebrate me for a weekend, I wanted them to have welcome bags upon arrival.

There were some beautiful monarch butterflies around the plants Harper loved running around this flower bed area... For these 3 cute pics, there are like 8 more equally cute ones I'm not posting.  I really like how they turned out, so it was worth battling the bee that thought I smelled really sweet. These really made me want to plant some ornamental peppers. Pumpkin Village! Trying to kiss big brother! I guess once a little sister figures out you hate kisses, she's going to try to do it all day long! I feel like I'm missing out on so many Fall events this year, but I'm glad I got to go to
