Seeing a pattern?

Yes, I've been hot and cold on ye olde blogge as of late.
I guess it goes along with my moode as of late!

peaks and valleys right?

One thing that is bringing me down is all the early Christmas stuff.
It just gets earlier every year and overshadows one of the best holidays IMO, Thanksgiving!

I understand the reason...the almighty dollar.
Christmas has just become so commercialized - heck I'm as guilty as the next person of falling into the game.

Anyway, I hope to "catch the spirit" in the next week (after tomorrow's Thanksgiving celebration of course!)

Wanted to share some shots from Alex's horseshow banquet last weekend.

Unfortunately her Dad couldn't go so her escort was Dan when the Queens were called to the stage for their awards.

Molly & Austin were excited about their trophies given in honor of Butch Honey,
a great man that we lost last year.

I'm with you on the 'early christmas' thing...although, I did get a little more into the 'spirit' when I heard christmas music playing at anthropologie last weekend. ;) I just want you to know that I LOVE all the photos of Alex's life and think it's SO cool that you are so involved! I just want you to know that I think you're pretty special!

I love that Alex is "herself"...she isn't a carbon copy of all the others....and I love that.

I'm working on getting into the spirit of the upcoming season......you know I start after lunch tomorrow on the decorating..
