Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge Day 10

Happy Friday y'all!

Today is the last day of the Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge!

Day TenThanksgiving Memories
My best Thanksgiving memories are from when my mom's parent's were still alive.
My sister and I would drag my grandma's Christmas tree down from the upstairs bedroom and put it up for her. We always looked so forward to it because we got to put her Christmas tree up very early, and normally before ours went up at home.Then we would always go Black Friday shopping the day after Thanksgiving.
My mom, my sister, and I still have the Black Friday shopping tradition the day after Thanksgiving!It's really fun for us, and really we like spending the time together the most.Oh, and trying to secretly slip off and buy something for each other for Christmas without the other person knowing ;)
What are your Thanksgiving memories?

Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge Day 9

I missed out on posting this yesterday, so I'm posting it a little late :)

Day Nine
Favorite Football Pastimes


Football has always been about rivalry, even before I got married.
My mom, my sister, and I are big Clemson fans.
While my dad is a South Carolina fan.

Now that I'm married, my husband is also a South Carolina fan.
I think my dad really enjoys having someone on his side now to talk about it with :)

When Clemson and South Carolina have played each other in the past, my family and I have gone to eat at Wild Wings to watch the game.
Last year though we grilled steaks and watched the game at my parent's house.
This year my husband and I usually grill steaks every Saturday when our teams play.
I don't know why, we just do :)

I have been to a couple of Clemson games at Death Valley before.

My uncle had season passes to the games and a tailgating spot, and I really enjoyed the tailgating!

I wish I lived close enough to Clemson because if I did I would definitely enjoy tailgating on Saturdays!

One big part of my football watching includes dressing up all my furbabes!

What else is new, right?!

Here is a picture of Chris and me wearing our rivalry t-shirts with my parent's dog all decked out!

I don't have t-shirts for Youri or D'Artagnan so for last week's game, I tied a purple ribbon around their necks to get them in the spirit!

What are some of your favorite football pastimes?

Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge Day 8

Happy Wednesday y'all!

I'm so glad the week is halfway done!

Today I'm continuing with the Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge!

Day EightFall Travel/Road Trips
I've never really done any serious Fall travel.Ever since I started kindergarden I've been in school during the Fall.Which means I haven't really had the time for Fall trips.
This year though I hope to take a little mini trip one weekend up to NC.Since I live on the border between SC and NC this isn't what I'd call a road trip :)But I really want to go pick apples and see the pretty leaves in the mountains!

Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge Day 3

Happy Wednesday!

It's the third day in the Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge link up with Neely and Amber!

Day ThreeWhat do you do for Halloween/A Halloween Memory
Since I don't have kids yet, Halloween at my house isn't really anything all that exciting!I mostly enjoy the decorations and fun that come along with it.Typically, I wake up and dress my furbabes up in their costumes and take their pictures.Then Chris and I will have a "scary" movie marathon.And when I say "scary" I mean like fun Halloween movies.I scare too easily for the real thing!!
So since I don't do anything really cool, I thought I'd share with you what I did for Allie's first Halloween!
This is Allie in her pumpkin outfit! 

She looks so worried because she saw me coming with the hat which she HATED!

She wasn't too happy with me after that!

I went around during the day and passed out different dog treats to a bunch of my neighbors.And that night I took her trick or treating!

After we rang the doorbell!

Success :)

Back home with some of her treats!

And then she helped pass out candy to trick or treaters!!

What do you do for Halloween?
