Everyday Maddie

 Happy DECEMBER! Wow! Where has the year gone?? I am linking up with Holly and Sarah today for Hello Monday, and I thought I would share all about my Thanksgiving break. Started the break off right by going to see Wicked: For Good with my mom and Mimi. It was soooo good! Also got to spend some time with Reid! Lots of festive decor! Lots of good food and drink was had! We watched the parade Thursday morning- my very favorite tradition! My flower arrangement! We went to the Egg Bowl where our team won, but then our coach quit us.

Neither, give me the Macy's Parade please! 5. If you decorate for Christmas, do you decorate before or after Thanksgiving? If you read here regularly, you may remem...

 Happy Tuesday, friends! Today I thought I would share a bit of Life Lately/Thanksgiving week! This was my mood going into Thanksgiving week. I WAY overpacked, but when you're gone from home for that long it's necessary to take your entire closet. Right?? Caleb and I went to one of my childhood besties wedding. They asked that everyone wear all black, and I loved that! It really made the bridge and groom stand out! We ventured over to Seaside, Florida to watch a friend perform in the Nutcracker. At this particular performance, they only do Act II. We had so much fun! Ok, everywhere at the beach closes at 8 pm during the off season apparently. We wanted to get away from 30a to eat, but once we got back towards Destin everything was closed 😂. We got seated at The Shack at 7:50....they were so sweet to let us stay! The food was so good! Matching PJs with our faves! We did some shopping at Grand Boulevard. Can you believe I didn't buy anything?? Ha! I did love seeing all of th...
