The air is crisp, the weather is turning and the holiday season is just around the corner. And, it just so happens, it’s my top three favorite of all weekends {top two are my birthday weekend and Christmas, respectively,with Thanksgiving coming in at #4, in case you were wondering}: deer hunting opener.

Every year, we load the guys up with cookies, treats, warm socks and kiss ’em goodbye…only to eagerly begin ladies weekend!!!

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have a mother whom I love dearly and actually like to hang out with {which I didn’t think was weird until a coworker said– ‘you mean, you hang out with your mom…for fun?’ Ummm..have you met my mother? Hecks yes!!!}; a remarkable sister who’s second to none when it comes to chillin, movie watching, and ‘quick’shopping’; a girlfriend of my brother’s who is extremely likeable, hilarious to hang out with, and, as strange luck would have it, my hair twin {as my cousins affectionately dubed us. Nice.}; and a fabulous soon-to-be-mother-in-law who is not only also awesome to hang with {I know, right?}, but additionally raised the most sweetest, weirdest guy I know and cannot wait to marry. {Yay, wedding!}

😉

And, although he’s not partaking in the hunting tradition {if you know Mr. Nick, you’re well aware that his attention span and need to ‘do stuff’ would not pair well with sitting in a tree stand for hours on end}, he is occupying himself elsewhere while we ladies dive into fondue, chick flicks, nummy foods and spirits, chitchat and all things wonderful and girly and slippers and awesome!!!

To kick off ladies weekend–why not a ladies post of one of my favorite little ladies: Miss MiaRae!!

She’s six months now {crazy how time flies since this day!} and doing amazing. Chubby legs, big blue eyes, smiling all the time…Love it!

MiaRae Elizabeth–1 month old

Love the slippers? My aunt made them. So. Adorable.

Oh, that hat? Made by our Nana {we have a crafty family}. 😉

MiaRae: 3 months
{and, like all my shoots with the Miss so far, Beans feels like he should also be in them…too funny…}

Miss MiaRae: 6 months

Okay–quick break for our boys here!!! How AWESOME ARE THEY!?!?!?! Gavinn is almost three and Jax just turned 3 months!! Can’t wait to see the adventures these three all get into!!!

Annnnnnddddddd…back to baby girl!
