happy turkey day!

**i know this post has been wonky with some people seeing it and some not - so am gonna repost and go from there....happy tuesday!

my parents hosted a lovely trip to santa fe, new mexico for the welshes this thanksgiving.  we rented a couple of extra houses to accommodate the big group and each took turns making dinners and breakfasts.  it was SUCH A WONDERFUL trip.  being able to be with family in such a magical setting created an amazing trip.  here are some photos of us on turkey day.

DIY: runner

as i started brainstorming ideas for the decor for logan's first birthday, an idea for a runner popped into my head.  i carried it out by heading to texas art supply and grabbing some canvas and printmaking paint.  i simply made a stencil with cardboard and got to work.  i picked a neutral color in order to {hopefully} use this runner for many more celebrations.





hope everyone has a lovely thanksgiving tomorrow 
celebrating with loved ones!

logan's FIRST birthday party.

with lots of family in town for tgiving, we decided to have logan's first birthday celebration a tad early in order to include more family members.  we kept the guest list very small and just invited family.  i went with a pink and yellow theme.  actually, a mustard yellow and a dusty rose.  dusty rose proved to be very hard to find in party supplies, so it ended up being a bit more pink than i originally attended...but still turned out well. 

i can't really put into words what it means to have an almost one year old or i will soak up the keyboard with big ole tears.  so i will let the pictures do the talking.  it was a wonderful celebration of our beloved nugget and are so thankful for all the family that came to support her {and us}.  as well as our loved ones in dc that were celebrating from afar.
