Month in Review: November

Less than a month left until the new year begins - isn't that crazy?! First Saturday of the month = last month's review.  This time of the year is too busy so I'm just going to jump right in to a look at the past month…

November: 
Firstly, I rebranded this little space from The New Mrs. to Christina Lea Loves.  {story of the name change can be found here}.

We kicked off the month with a long weekend trip down to Dallas (our third year in a row!) and took in a Cowboys game while there along with a SMU game, time at Top Golf, a visit to our favorite Nick & Sam's and a tour around the George W. Bush Presidential Library.  A weekend was also spent out on Long Island to celebrate the wedding of one of my sorority sisters with plenty of friends.

We celebrated a big birthday for Derek, the big 3-0, with a dinner in Dallas, a family dinner here and a night out with friends for bowling & dinner.  We also had a little "Friendsgiving" brunch celebration.

It was a tough loss but we had beautiful weather conditions and a great time tailgating for Penn State vs Michigan as well as one more fun fall weekend in Happy Valley.

Food bank giving, friends visiting, nights at Sotherden's Saloon, walks with Stella and some Thanksgiving decorating rounded out what had been going on in our {looks} & life for the month.  Last but certainly not least, we celebrated Thanksgiving and enjoyed the holiday weekend including seeing both families and some best friends.  A brunch AND dinner were consumed on the big day as well as a Thanksgiving Eve meal too.
