"Insta"-replay #19, oh and it was my birthday!

Christmas seems to start a bit earlier every year.  I have to say I am part of the problem, not the solution.

I was excited to see the pretty, festive cups at Starbucks.  I was also eager to try the Creme Brûlée Latte, and it did not disappoint.

Now that November is good and going it is time to celebrate all the birthdays!  

Merry is starting to really work on her school.  She had to sort the puzzle pieces without knowing what they were suppose to look like.  Luckily she is also starting to enjoy challenges. 

My sister-in-law surprised me with tickets to "an evening with America's Test Kitchen."  I loved the TV show so going to a live event was a treat.  It was also fun to have a surprise on my birthday!

School at Starbucks was a treat.  We looked very studious with our books and bags.

Merry received her first Pokemon deck.  Besides being a treat for her it also gives her sister a chance to use her own deck.

Charry had an exciting weekend, she got to go to her very first sleep over!  I think she enjoyed packing for her doll more than for herself.

This coming week I already have plans to rearrange for Christmas.   I think it is easier to be Thankful when it is "Merry and Bright."
